The Scot won the second-tier Aix-en-Provence
Challenger Tour crown last month but suffered early exits in
Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome and Bordeaux before pulling out of the
French Open.
"In terms of physically how I have been, the last six to nine
months have been really good and that has been the best I have
felt since my surgery, that is really positive," Murray said he
said after beating Hugo Grenier 6-3 7-5.
"I am getting lots of matches in. I always feel really
comfortable on the grass courts, so the next few weeks will be a
good test for me."
Murray said it is difficult to assess his current playing level,
adding that competing against top-ranked players allows him to
expose certain aspects of his game more effectively.
"It is really hard to say if I'm playing my best level overall,"
Murray added.
"I don't know because I mean absolutely no disrespect to the
players I am playing against, I am aware they are very good
players, but when you're playing against guys who are in the top
10 in the world they are able to expose certain things in your
game a little bit more as well."
Murray added that he is giving his best as he bids to be seeded
by the time of the grasscourt Grand Slam, which runs from July
3-16.
"I am doing my best to give myself the best preparation I can
for Wimbledon," he said.
Murray will play Swiss eighth-seed Dominic Stricker later on
Friday before returning to the Queen's Club Championships on
June 19.
