Andy Murray, the former world No. 1, is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to regain his peak form. The 37-year-old has recently made a significant equipment change, switching from his long-time HEAD racquet to a Yonex frame. Murray's team has confirmed that he will test the new setup in match play at the ATP Challenger event in Bordeaux.
Murray's decision to experiment with a new racquet comes after a promising recovery from an ankle injury that sidelined him since March's Miami Open. The three-time major winner has accepted wild cards into Bordeaux and next week's Geneva Open, with the intention of using these tournaments as preparation for his expected Roland Garros farewell.
In 2023, Murray triumphed on French soil at the Challenger level, defeating Tommy Paul for the Aix-En-Provence crown. However, he opted to skip the Paris major to focus on preparing for the grass-court swing.
At the BNP Paribas Primrose opener in Bordeaux, Murray is seeded seventh and will face a qualifier in his first match. Home favorite Arthur Fils is the top seed.
Murray's equipment change is a testament to his unwavering determination to improve his game. The switch to Yonex could potentially provide him with an edge as he aims to make a strong return to the ATP Tour.
