Andy Murray: next match and schedule - Miami Open and practice with Ivan Lendl before French Open, Wimbledon

Andy Murray is set for a prolonged period on the practice courts after he competes at the Miami Open later this month. The former world No 1 exited Indian Wells at the second-round stage after losing to Alexander Bublik, but after notching his 700th career win during the tournament, he will remain in the US after accepting a wild card for Miami, which starts on March 23.

Asked about linking back up with Lendl, Murray said: “I think like if I look at a match like today [against Bublik], I had all of the opportunities really in the first set. Obviously a tie-break.

Both of us had some chances there, but in the first set I certainly created more of the opportunities and I didn’t take them. “He obviously came up with some good serves at times, but I certainly had my chances and, you know, against players that play that style of tennis and have obviously big serves and not easy to break, you need to, when you get those chances, you know, be ruthless and I just didn’t quite play well enough in those moments today and that’s the thing that obviously I want to turn around.
