Britain's Andy Murray is expecting to be fit for the grass-court season and will make a statement this week, according to his mother Judy.

The Scot, who has not played competitively since Wimbledon last year, had a hip operation in January.

The 31 year old former world number one has won Wimbledon twice and this year's tournament starts on the 2nd of July.

Judy told BBC Sport.

"He's doing the rehabilitation. He's been back on the court in the last couple of days,"

 "His goal was always to try and be ready for the grass-court season and that is still his goal, so fingers crossed."

The next event Andy Murray could play in is the grass-court Libema Open in Rosmalen, the Netherlands, from 11 to 17 June.

Murray missed the first six months of the 2004 season because of a knee injury and had surgery two months after his first Wimbledon title in 2013 because of a problem with his lower back.
