“I’m not going to lose in the second and third tournaments,” said Murray, who hasn’t won the men’s singles championship since his 2019 victory in Antwerp.

“I will heal and I will heal and survive in a week, two or a few months. It will happen. Of course I would like it to happen faster than it is.

“If I continue down this path and build a little more consistency, I’m a little more clinical and a little more gracious, I’ll start to win more and do deep runs, but it’s hard.”

“I’m definitely playing in Stockholm (November 6-13) and Paris (November 1-7) looks positive, but not yet 100% sure, so we’ll be waiting to see it,” Murray said.

“The Davis Cup is something I don’t plan for all the reasons I gave yesterday. It’s possible that I can change my mind as it approaches, but I want a decent offseason and I spend time at home with my family.

“Even though my tennis is getting better, there are still things I have to do. It’s great to do it on the field, but sometimes you need a little free to get a good three or four week block to work things out in your game to really improve without the pressure of with it it really wouldn’t happen, so I’m not planning it. ”
