Wimbledon 2022 - Andy Murray reveals ranking ambition after 'frustrating' John Isner defeat

Andy Murray remains determined to improving his ranking enough to be seeded at Grand Slams again after a “frustrating” Wimbledon defeat to John Isner. Two-time Wimbledon champion Murray suffered his earliest exit at the tournament as he lost in four sets in the second round to Isner, who fired down 36 aces and didn’t drop serve once. Ad/> Murray only had two break-point chances in the match and struggled to get a look in many of Isner’s service games.

That was a goal of mine sort of post Miami,” said Murray, who wasn’t seeded at Wimbledon as he is ranked No.

Murray beaten in four sets by Isner Raducanu's Wimbledon hopes ended by Garcia “I've spoken to my team a lot about that, and that's something that I want to try and put myself in a position hopefully come the US Open. If not the US Open, then going into the Australian Open next year where I'm seeded again.

“That means obviously I'll need to be out there competing and winning matches because it does make, like I said, things trickier. “I was coming into Wimbledon feeling like I could have a deep run. If you're playing against top guys right at the beginning of the event, obviously makes it a little bit more challenging.

That's kind of what my goals are between now and the US Open. “I could have had a good run here. One of the reasons why improving your ranking and trying to get seeded is important, avoid playing top players and dangerous guys like that early in tournaments.” Asked
