Murray to play Barcelona in bid for claycourt time

Author: Reema Omer

MADRID: World number one Andy Murray will play next week’s Barcelona Open in a bid to build match fitness and clock up much-needed claycourt time ahead of next month’s French Open. Murray on Friday took the late decision to play in Spain after a surprise defeat at the hands of Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the last 16 of the Monte Carlo Masters. Murray had been scheduled to play just Madrid and Rome ahead of the French Open. The Scot had suffered an elbow injury in March, and only made his return from a five-week layoff on Wednesday in Monaco. It has been a tough start to 2017 for Murray after finishing last year as the world’s top-ranked player.
