Andy Murray admitted that he isn\u2019t \u201cenjoying\u201d his tennis at the moment after suffering another disappointing defeat. The Brit lost to Alex de Minaur 7-6(5) 4-6 7-5 after serving for the match twice in the final set. He later admitted that he hasn\u2019t felt good about his game for the last few months, something that is stopping him from getting behind himself in tough matches.<\/p>\n

Murray suffered another first-round exit on Monday as he crashed out of the Rolex Paris Masters following a three-hour battle and he later revealed that he wasn\u2019t getting enjoyment from his game. It was the second time in the last few weeks that he lost to de Minaur after serving for the victory and having a match point, and afterwards the exasperated Brit admitted he couldn\u2019t \u201cremember finishing a match like that before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t feel like I played particularly well today and I’m still in a three-set match with a guy ranked 13 in the world. It’s frustrating,\u201d Murray said. \u201cI’m not really enjoying it just now I would say just in terms of how I feel on the court and how I’m playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old is now 2-5 in matches since the US Open and has been struggling to get satisfaction from his tennis for several months. He continued: \u201cThe last five, six months haven’t been that enjoyable, which doesn’t help things, so I need to try and find some of that enjoyment back because playing a match like that there’s not really much positivity there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I play a good point, I’m not really getting behind myself and then in the important moments, that will to win and fight that has always been quite a big, big part of my game. Like I said, what happened today, I don’t remember it happening before, but it’s very, very rare. Those sorts of situations happen quite a lot this year, and that’s not really me. It’s not enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murray had a strong start to the season – reaching the third round of the Australian Open and making the Doha final. But the three-time Grand Slam champion felt that he had stagnated in the second half of the year. \u201cIt’s just the way that I’m feeling and sort of playing on the court,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven’t felt good about my game for large parts of this year. In the second part of the year obviously a lot of disappointing results and performances. You obviously want to be seeing sort of progress and feeling like you’re getting closer to something and I haven’t really felt like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
