"I will need to have a long and hard think" - Murray following swift loss against Wawrinka at Roland Garros

Andy Murray had high hopes entering this year's Roland Garros but lady luck didn't help him much pairing him with Wawrinka who smashed him quickly in only 87 minutes.

Andy Murray returned to the Roland Garros after three and half years of absence. The last time he played here was against Wawrinka and yesterday he faced him again. The Swiss smashed him swiftly in straight sets and only 87 minutes of play. After the match he said:

“I'll need to have a long, hard think and try and understand what happened. It's not for me the sort of match I would just brush aside and not give any thought to. There are obviously reasons behind a performance kind of like that. I think that's probably in terms of scoreline, I might be wrong, but I think that's the worst defeat maybe of my career in a Grand Slam."

Murray had harsh words for himself and he didn't shy away from criticizing his game and performance. Speaking about the match itself he did realize the draw didn't favour him but he wouldn't call it an excuse. He said:

“Today was obviously an extremely tough draw. Even if I played very well, it would have been no guarantee that I [would] win that match. But I also didn't play well. I served like under 40 per cent first serves in the court, which is just not good enough really against anyone, and especially someone as good as Stan. You want to be serving in the 60 per cent [range].

Murray also spoke about his career going forward saying he understands that he won't reach the highs of his career but he also believes that he can compete at the highest level for quite some times and he will continue to work on that. He wouldn't name objectives only saying:

"Let's see what the next few months holds, and I reckon I won't play a match like that between now and the end of the year.”
