Andy Murray lost out 6-1, 6-3 in a pretty one-sided affair at the Monte-Carlo Masters against Alex de Minaur and is now considering his future clay-court plans, he confirmed.
In a more detailed post match interview posted by Simon Cambers of Tennis Majors, he admitted that he has a decision to make and that he can't play challengers so might just go home and train ahead of Wimbledon.
This after a defeat he called 'demoralising' and one of the worst of his career.
“I’m pretty disappointed with it, to be honest, because I practised well last week,” he said as per Tennis Majors.
“Obviously, I didn’t have high expectations going into the first tournament, I wasn’t expecting to play amazing tennis or feel great on the court, but certainly when you put a certain level of work in and that’s the performance that comes at the end of it, it’s pretty demoralising.
“I have to have a long think about things with my team and what I do from here.”
“There’s not really any options tournament-wise,” he added.
“Last year, we had looked into the possibility of playing potentially some hard court Challengers. But with the way the rules are now, like the ones that are over in Asia, for example, I can’t go and play them during Madrid and Rome. I’m not allowed to play elsewhere.
“So it’s just whether I play the clay court season or whether I miss it. I have to have a long think about things with my team and what I do from here, in terms of where I train or do I stick on the clay. It was, it was pretty, pretty disappointing. “
