Madrid wild cards: Note 1: Murray isn’t skipping the clay season after all Note 2: You can see this is now an IMG event Note 3: No wild cards for Romanians, end of an Era
Andy Murray confirmed weeks ago that he would be skipping clay entirely because his body is presumably not strong enough to handle the taxing play of clay.
However today it came out that Murray will play at the Madrid Open U-turning on his previous statement that he won't play any clay tennis. It's quite a strange development as Murray was pretty adamant about not playing on the red surface and with good reason. The last time he played did not go that well at all. Madrid is a very specific clay event and Murray is one of the wild cards announced today.
The Brit did not speak on the decision yet. Once he does, we will update you with what he had to say.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
