Madrid Open: Andrea Vavassori defeats Andy Murray, Dominic Thiem defeats Kyle Edmund

Posted : 28 April 2023
Even after losing to Italian world No. 164 Andrea Vavassori at the Madrid Open, Andy Murray said he still intends to compete at the French Open.

In the opening round, the former world number one from Britain was defeated 6-3 7-6 (9-7).

After being destroyed by Alex de Minaur in Monte Carlo, it marks his second consecutive lopsided loss on clay.

"I would like to play [at the French Open] because I don't know if I'll get another opportunity," Murray, 35, said.

After losing to Dominic Thiem of Austria, Kyle Edmund, a fellow Briton, is still searching for his first ATP victory of the year.

Murray hasn't played much on clay since needing potentially career-ending hip surgery four years ago, although he did win two matches in Madrid last year.

Since reaching the semi-finals at the Grand Slam event in 2017, the world's number 52 has been aiming to return to the French Open the following month. This would be his only other appearance at the tournament this year.

Following the major on clay, Murray immediately enters the grass-court season, which has historically been his most successful one.

The swing concludes in early July at Wimbledon, where Murray won two of his three major championships in 2013 and 2016.
