"I'm playing Stockholm and Paris" says Andy Murray as he leaves out Davis Cup out of future plans

The season is slowly coming to an end for Andy Murray who was asked about his future plans following the 2nd round loss to Carlos Alcaraz yesterday. Speaking on his future plans Murray admitted that he was most likely playing Stockholm and Paris:

"I'm definitely playing in Stockholm (6-13 November) and Paris (1-7 November) is looking positive, but not 100 per cent sure yet, so we will wait to see on that."

The Paris Masters event announced wild cards today and Murray was among them so he will play in Paris. He was then asked about his possible participation in the Davis Cup considering GB Team Captain Leon Smith left one spot open hoping that Murray changes his mind. On that he said:

"Davis Cup is something that I'm not planning on for all the reasons I gave the other day. It is possible I could change my mind as it gets closer but I want a proper off-season and spend some time at home with my family.

Murray quickly touched upon his tennis explaining that he has still a lot of work to do in order to improve to the level he feels he can play on. A crucial part for that improvement would be a proper offseason:

"Although my tennis is improving there is still stuff I need to work on. It's great to do it on the match court but sometimes you need a little bit of time off it to get a good three or four-week block to work on things in your game to really improve it without the pressure of having to do it in matches. With Davis Cup, that wouldn't really happen, so I'm not planning on it."
