Alexander Bublik was in charge of ending the hopes that Andy Murray will advance to the third round Indian Wells. The Briton, who couldn’t take advantage of the chances he had in the first set tiebreak, ran out of chances in the second set. Already at a press conference, Murray explained what aspects he wants to focus on, the issue of insults in the sport due to the situation experienced by Osaka and made public his predictions for the clay season.
Aspects to improve
“I had my chances throughout the match. You have to be definitive and today I didn’t play well enough in those moments. That is something I want to change. It may be due to confidence because of the level of tennis you are playing. I didn’t feel like I was giving my best. I just didn’t take my chances today and I feel like it was a missed opportunity.”
mistreatment in sport
“Sometimes I have thought about it when watching certain sports, it is not something very common in tennis, although I know it has happened. I have played in certain environments like Davis Cup away from home with intense atmospheres. Sometimes certain things are said and it is not so comfortable”, commented the Briton.
“Almost every basketball game I’ve been to, the player has been booed by the crowd. Although it is wrong that they do it, the players have gotten used to it or have been able to deal with it, even if it is not something that pleasant.
Obviously, I feel sorry for Naomi, who was very affected by it. It is something that has always been part of the sport. I guess you have to be prepared for that in some way and be able to tolerate it, because it happens regularly in all sports,” Murray added.
About the ground tour
“I don’t plan to play the clay court season. However, as things stand today, he would have to put Rafa as the favorite to potentially win Roland Garros again. Novak has been out of the circuit for a long time, and Rafa started the year very well. He is in a position that he did not expect to be in a few months ago.
Even so, I would not completely rule out Novak, although it will not be easy for him, ”Murray concluded.
