Andy Murray has said that he would "definitely" play in the rescheduled French Open in September, if it is able to take place as planned.
The tennis season has been shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic since last month and will not resume until mid-July at the earliest.
Wimbledon has been cancelled and Roland Garros organisers controversially moved the French Open until September 20-October 4, starting just a week after the end of the US Open, from its usual start date in May.
"I'd definitely play on the clay, if it goes ahead," former world number one Murray told CNN.
"I'm a bit sceptical whether it will. I would imagine tennis would be one of the last sports to get back to normality because you've obviously got players, coaches and teams coming from all over the world into one area.
"I'd be surprised if they're back playing sport by September time, but we'll see."
