The man with a thousand and one invitations, Andy Murray, was confirmed to participate in Indian Wells. He received the same news as Sofia Kenin with the particularity that neither of them was champion of the tournament.
For the British it will be his fourteenth participation in the Wild West tournament. 27-13 record with only one final (loss to Rafael Nadal in 2009 and one last appearance in 2021 with a third round (loss at the hands of Alexander Zverev).
The beginning of the year was very active for the former number one in the world. He reached a final, in Sydney, in six tournaments and he looks physically fit to face a demanding season. Fourteen games played with emotional swings that are reflected in results as dissimilar as a double positive 6-2 to Taro Daniel in Doha and a negative 6-0 and 6-1 vs. Roberto Bautista in the next round.
That’s where Murray is. Meeting his tennis because he still has something to give.
