Despite losing to Fabio Fognini at Italian Open, Andy Murray 'would still like to play' at French Open

Posted : 11 May 2023
After falling to Fabio Fognini in the Italian Open's opening round, Andy Murray says he "would still like to play" at the French Open. However, he will make a decision in the coming days.

The 35-year-old was defeated by the local favourite by scores of 4-6 6-4 4-6 in a tough match that lasted over three hours.

It was Murray's third straight ATP 1000 first-round loss on clay after he had lost in Monte Carlo and Madrid.

Following his loss to Fabio Fognini in the Italian Open's opening round, Andy Murray says he "would still like to compete" in the French Open but won't make a decision until a few days from now.

"I'd still like to play but we did agree that we'd talk and make a decision as a team after Rome," Murray said.

“That is what I wanted, to see how my game felt, how I was playing and physically how I was doing in some of the longer matches before making a definitive call on it. We'll have those discussions in the next few days.”

On the first day of men's main draw action in Rome, Fognini defeated Murray in a thrilling contest. The Italian produced an impressive number of winners to support his victory.

“It was a pretty patchy match," said Murray.

"There was some good stuff in there but also some pretty average stuff. He played very well in the third set. My level was OK in the third, but he played really well in the third.”
