Sky Sports News confirmed the news on its official website on Sunday, February 6th, 2022. Murray has participated in just one Roland Garros competition for the first time in four years. He missed 2019,2021 and will miss this year's competition.

He confirmed that the end of last year was a bit stressful for him and he won't want to take any chances by participating at this year's Roland Garros.

Right now I am not planning on playing through the clay. The past couple of years, the clau has made issues worse, last year I had some issues at the beginning of the year, the clay did not help, so I have spoken to my team about that and this year while I feel good and healthy, I don't want to take risks. It is not that I would not potentially play on clay in the future. Last year I almost missed Wimbledon, was close to not playing through to playing the grass season, I am not planning on playing on clay. I will still try and compete a bit during that period, I wouldn't do anything, that's my plan for now. I had a busy end of the year and the rest couple of months I won't take any risks and hopefully get a good build up to the grass season.

Murray was knocked out in the second round of the just concluded Australian Open.
