Andy Murray is targeting
Roland Garros as an event that he plans to play along with the events ATP 100 events in Monaco, Rome and Madrid before that.
Speaking ahead of his return in Monaco which happened earlier today Murray admitted that he wants to play those events, especially Roland Garros, once more before he retires. It doesn't mean that Murray will retire this year or next year but he would like to play those events just one more time because he doesn't know when his time will come:
“I’m planning on playing here, in Madrid and Rome, and then depending on how the body feels and how I’m playing, I’ll decide on the French Open. If I feel like I can have a good run there, I would like to play. I’ve not really played much there since 2017, and I don’t know how many more chances I’ll get to play there. Whilst I’m feeling good, I would love to do it again.”
He further said:
“There was a worry about it the last couple of years because I hadn’t played on it much and it always took me a while to adjust to the surface. But I feel much better physically on clay than I do after the long hard court matches. It’s a bit easier on the joints."
It didn't go so well for Murray as he lost quite easily to Alex de Minaur. Read our report below.
