The 22-year-old Scot who has not played a singles match since April 2007 and is currently not ranked in the world for singles said “I would like to give it a go, and I thought after what I did last year it was probably my best chance. It would be a dream come true.”

Murray has tasted success at Wimbledon, winning the mixed doubles event with Jelena Jankovic in 2007.

“The faster surfaces suit my game so I think I could do OK. I can only ask and see what happens.” Murray has also asked for entry into the singles at Queen’s leading up to Wimbledon.
