So disappointing says Murray after losing 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 to Milos Raonic in Indian Wells.
“But today I was just really disappointed with how the last 15 minutes of the match went. That was really, really poor. “
Murray has been fighting really hard in Indian Wells, in the previous rounds, winning some close matches. But as the tournament went on, and the level of competition became more challenging, he wasn’t able to get the win today.
“You know, tough to win matches like that, because against him, he obviously wins a lot of free points with his serve. So over the course of the set, if you give up enough unforced errors on basic shots, then with the amount of free points he gets on his serve, that’s going to add up to a negative result. So disappointing.”
“But, yeah, last few weeks that’s been a bit of an issue, so I will need to try and start matches a little bit better, you know, be a little bit more intense throughout the whole match, and not give up so many free points.”
Andy’s wins this year have been far from easy.
“Acapulco was the same. My matches have been a little bit patchy over the past few weeks. Australia wasn’t really the case.”
“I haven’t lost bad matches this year. I lost to Roger Federer in Australia who’s pretty good, you know.”
Andy leaves Indian Wells hoping he will do better in Miami.
“Today was, you know, nowhere near good enough when I went ahead. Yeah, I mean, obviously Miami is a place I know well and train a lot there. But, yeah, next few days I have to think about a few things, and hopefully play well in Miami, which I have done quite a few times in the past.”
