The Brit has skipped the French Open to focus on his grass-court game.

Murray, 36, who is hoping to be seeded at SW19, beat South Korean Chung Hyeon 6-3 6-2 in the opening round of the Surbiton Trophy Challenger event. And the two-time Wimbledon champion is targeting a good run at thhis year's tournament.

"It is hard to put numbers on it but I would fancy myself against a lot of them [the top 10]," said Murray.

"Last year I won against [Nick] Kyrgios who made the final of Wimbledon, I won against [Stefanos] Tsitsipas - it is probably not his favourite surface but he is one of the best players in the world," said Murray.

"I was a set all with [Matteo] Berrettini - who is quite clearly in the top few grass-court players - in the final of Stuttgart before I hurt my abs."

Ranked 43, Murray is hoping to see his seeding rise ahead of Wimbldedon.

"I've got up to 41 in the world and believe I can go higher than that. Obviously I did well here [Surbiton] and in Stuttgart last year and I think I need about 300 points [to be seeded at Wimbledon] so I will have to do well the next few weeks if I want to do that," said Murray.

"If I have a good tournament at Queen's, if you make the final or win the tournament there then I would be seeded, but I need to just concentrate on the performances.

"If you start just thinking about points it is not necessarily the best way to look at things. I will just try and win as many matches as possible and see if I can get in there."
