Three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray said his singles return may be closer than he originally thought.
The 32-year-old has been restricted after his hip resurfacing operation in January.
Speaking ahead of the tournament of his return to singles action, he told reporters: "
I'm closer than maybe what I thought I was."
"Best-case scenario probably would be Cincinnati. And then if I wasn't able to play in Cincinnati, there's a good chance I would probably wait until after New York, because I wouldn't want my first tournament, either, to be playing best-of-five."
