Madrid. Britain’s Andy Murray has said that he could play in the French Open for the first time since 2017 after losing in the first round of the Madrid Open.

The former world number one suffered a 6-3, 7-6(7) first round loss to Italy’s Andrea Vavassori on Thursday. He had earlier lost to Alex de Minaur in the first round on clay in Monte Carlo.

The Briton, looking for his first win on clay courts this season, could take to Rome, where he hasn’t played since 2017. He reached the semi-finals in 2017. This will be his second appearance at the French Open.

Clarifying his outlook on Roland Garros, Murray said he is looking forward to playing in his second Grand Slam this year.

Murray said, “My team has many options as to what I should do. I want to play because I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to play again. I’m feeling fit and better and I want to get on the court.” “

Apart from the clay court majors, Murray also wants to compete in the grass court Grand Slam Wimbledon where he has had a lot of success. She has won two of her three Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016.(IANS)
