Briton beaten in straight sets by Félix Auger-Aliassime‘I need to look at what I can do to improve physically’Andy Murray knows he is in the autumn of his playing years, but losing heavily against Félix Auger-Aliassime in the
US Open – his first straight-sets defeat in the first week of a grand slam tournament in 14 years – has encouraged him to carry on rather than dwell on bitter disappointment.
“I don’t want to lose in straight sets anywhere,” Murray said in the small hours of Friday morning, “and certainly not in grand slams. What I need to do is look at what happened the last couple of weeks, look at the things in my game that weren’t as I would have liked, and then look at what I can do to improve physically so that, if I’m in that situation again in a few weeks’ time in the
French Open, I deal with it better.”
