Andy Murray remains undecided on his participation in the French Open this month after his first-round loss to Fabio Fognini in the Italian Open on Wednesday.
Shortly after the three-set defeat, Murray suggested there were various options open to him, including fully embracing the clay-court season by competing at another ATP Challenger event in Bordeaux next week, or entering an ATP tournament in the week before the French Open. “I don’t know,” Murray told the Guardian. “I’ll need to chat to my team about that and see what I do from here.
There’s the possibility of playing the tournament next week in France. Whether I’d consider playing the week before the French Open or not, I really don’t know.
I’ll need to have a chat with the team and see what the best thing to do is.” In Madrid last week, Murray had mentioned there were various views within his camp about whether or not he should compete at the French Open.
