Andy Murray expects there to be an extremely strong field at Wimbledon this summer.
This comes in the wake of the ATP and WTA's decision to remove ranking points from the historic tournament.
Murray reiterated his belief in that the decision to do so was a not a great move.

The Scot believes a different approach could have been adopted.
"My belief is Wimbledon will go ahead and have an extremely strong player field," the 35-year-old said.
"Removing the points, if it doesn’t stop players from playing then I don’t think it’s a great move from the ATP because they’ve taken the points away and everyone’s still showing up.
"A lot of the players are frustrated and didn’t want that to happen.
"I think most and the majority of the players – certainly the ones that I’ve spoken to – felt like there should have been some response from the ATP."
Away from the off-the-court politics, Murray looked in promising shape on grass since his Wimbledon exit to Denis Shapovalov last July.
More importantly, the Scot is in good spirits and fans will be delighted to see any prospect of a free-flowing Murray
