Andy Murray has withdrawn from the French Open. The former French Open finalist's name was removed from the entry list on the Roland-Garros website on Sunday. Ad Murray had previously said that he wanted to play at Roland-Garros “one more time” before retiring.
Andy Murray has been hailed as a “role model for the younger generation” by tennis legend Boris Becker after the former world No. 1 claimed his first title since 2019 in Aix-en-Provence. The 35-year-old dropped down a level to play the Challenger tournament in France in the wake of a poor start to the clay-court season where he suffered back-to-back first-round exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid.
Of the 46 titles he has won in his career to date, the second-tier ATP Challenger event won in Aix-en-Provence last weekend is unlikely to rank near the top for Andy Murray in terms of prestige. But in terms of how the remainder of his 2023 season pans out, it could be an absolutely vital one. Ad Murray appeared to be in a tough spot before playing the tournament, unsure whether to continue to commit to playing on clay following first-round losses in Monte Carlo and Madrid, and seemingly growing more frustrated in every match at not producing the same level he did during an encouraging start to the year.
Andy Murray’s clay-court recovery continued as he defeated Luca van Assche 6-2 7-6(6) to reach the semi-finals of the Aix-en-Provence Challenger. The Scot will face Harold Mayor or Alexander Bublik next as he rebuilds confidence and form ahead of Roland Garros in the wake of a shaky start to the clay season. Ad Murray cruised through a confident opening set before recovering from facing two set points to edge a second set tie-break.
Andy Murray's struggles in his defeat at the Monte Carlo Masters were «hard to watch» for Justine Henin and Laura Robson, who reflected on the disappointment. The 35-year-old was left very frustrated with his performance after he mustered just four games in the entire match against the 14th seed from Australia in what was a big setback for him ahead of the second Grand Slam of the season in Paris. Ad Murray lost 6-1 6-3 to De Minaur as he produced 26 unforced errors and failed to earn a single break point on his first appearance at the tournament since 2017.
Andy Murray says he put in one of the worst performances of his career in a «demoralising» first-round Monte Carlo Masters defeat to Alex De Minaur. The 35-year-old produced 26 unforced errors and failed to earn a single break point as he collapsed to a 6-1 6-3 defeat on his first appearance at the tournament since 2017. Ad Murray’s miserable display sealed back-to-back first-round tournament exits, following a straight-sets loss to Dusan Lajovic at the Miami Open, and he was furious with his efforts in Monaco.
Andy Murray has outlined his plans to for a busy European clay court season, including a potential French Open return. The former world No.1 has competed at the French Open just once since making the 2017 semi-finals, a first-round exit in 2020. Ad Murray is a four-time semi-finalist and was runner-up in 2016 at the Grand Slam in Paris, but he has battled repeated injury problems in recent years.
Andy Murray says he was surprised with his movement and overall performance in his Miami Open first-round defeat to Dusan Lajovic. In the first career meeting between the two players, Murray was beaten 6-4 7-5 by the world No. 76.
