"The tie against Canada was tricky," Murray, who was surprisingly beaten by Germany`s Mischa Zverev in the fourth round of the Australian Open, told Sky Sports.


"I needed to have a break, I was definitely tired when I got back from Australia and my body was pretty pleased I took some time off. But away to France, after Miami, I`m into the swing of things and I`ve had enough rest."


Murray was instrumental in Britain winning the Davis Cup in 2015 when he won all 11 rubbers in four rounds.


In Murray`s absence Britain beat Canada 3-2 last weekend while France defeated Japan 4-1.


The two nations met at the same stage in 2015 with Britain winning at home on grass at Queen`s Club.


France are likely to choose clay for the tie.
