Andy Murray would 'fancy' himself against 'a lot' of top 10 on grass after Surbiton win ahead of Wimbledon

Andy Murray says he would “fancy” his chances against a lot of the world’s top 10 on grass. The former world No. 1 opted out of the French Open and is instead preparing for Wimbledon by playing at the grass-court Surbiton Trophy Challenger event.
