Murray targets LA return

Andy Murray hopes to be back in action next month after the disappointment of being forced to miss Wimbledon with a wrist injury.

Murray, who injured tendons in his right wrist in the first round of the Hamburg Masters on May 15, is aiming to return in the ATP Tour event in Los Angeles, which starts on July 16.

"It's coming up to a very important time of the year for him, the American hard-court season, it's his best surface and he has a lot of points to defend because he did very well there last year," Murray's mother, Judy, told the BBC. "This coming week he will be in the gym and the swimming pool to work his physical programme and strengthen his wrist."
