Andy Murray will not play at this year’s French Open and will instead focus on the grass court season.

The British tennis legend’s playing style is better suited to grass courts than the clay surface and he suffered another early exit on the red dirt on Wednesday.

Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, lost 6-3 6-0 to Stan Wawrinka in his first match at an ATP Challenger event in Bordeaux.

The result follows Murray’s first-round exit from the Italian Open last week, as he was beaten by Fabio Fognini in Rome.

Despite winning an ATP Challenger event in France, he also endured opening exits in Madrid and Monte-Carlo in what has been a tough spell on clay this year.
