Murray was injured at Queens

Andy Murray will not win Wimbledon this year despite recovering from injury to take part, according to his mother and LTA performance manager Judy.

"I think he may have a chance in another couple of years," the mother of the British number one and 12th seed for Wimbledon told BBC Scotland.

"He still has a lot of improving to do in his game, which is quite exciting.

"I think he has said it himself that he's not ready to win it. But he will be out there challenging for sure."

Murray missed last year's Wimbledon with a wrist injury and there were fears of a repeat when he pulled out of the Artois Championships last week.

But Judy confirmed he would be ready for next week's challenge despite hurting his thumb.

"I think he is pretty much there," she said. "I think, by the time he gets into Wimbledon, that injury will be completely gone.

"It was just a bruise that's gone down."

Murray realises there will be even greater expectations on her son now that Britain's former top pairing of Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski have retired.

"It will be the first year that he has been out on his own, because Tim and Greg are not there," she said.

"The main thing for him is to stay relaxed and so far he is incredibly relaxed about the whole thing.

"He loves playing Wimbledon."

Murray has expressed his disappointment at being seeded 12th - one place lower than his world ranking - but his mum believes it is fair considering he did not play on grass last season.

She is hopeful that he will prove he can compete with the best on the surface.

"I think he has enough talent to be able to challenge for a major title and I think he has shown that in some of the players that he has beaten, like Roger Federer, for example," said Murray.

"It's one thing having wins against some of the top players, but to win a slam you have to win seven games over 10 or 11 days.

"So you have to be unbelievably fit and that's something that he has worked so hard on since September or October last year."

Indeed, Murray rejected the suggestion that her son was injury-prone.

"Every tennis player gets little niggles, especially at the start of the grass court season when the courts are slippy," she said.

"He doesn't get injured any more than other players. I think the press just jump on it when he does.

"He is in much better shape. He's much bigger, much stronger, faster and he'll keep working until he has reached his peak."
