The 20-year-old is set for his first appearance since mid-May in the Rogers Cup in Montreal.

"I'm not going to play my best tennis straight away, it's going to take me time," he said. "I just want to take it match by match."

Last time Murray was seen on court in tournament action his face was contorted in agony after his wrist gave way during a routine forehand in the Hamburg Masters first round.

His bid to regain full fitness saw the British number one miss both the French Open and Wimbledon, while he also pulled out of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington DC last month.

The first obstacle in his way comes in the form of American hardcourt specialist Robby Ginepri, a semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows in 2005 and someone Murray has already defeated twice on the surface.

An early incentive for Murray to come out firing is the possibility of a third-round clash with world number one Roger Federer - a player he has already beaten on the American hardcourts, in Cincinnati last year.

But despite his liking for the US hardcourt circuit, Murray believes the strains it will place on his wrist could prove problematic.

"It's been pretty much 12 weeks now (since he played)," Murray added on Sky Sports News. "Wimbledon came a bit too soon for me and going on to the American hardcourts is difficult because you need to play with a lot of top spin and the ball bounces up really high.

"It's difficult for me but I have to give it time and be patient. I'm just happy to be back and feeling no pain."
