Andy Murray may have snapped his six-match losing streak but his future will come under further scrutiny after he lost in the second round of the Qatar Open.
Murray has repeatedly said he is not about to retire after a horror run of form, but the fierce competitor inside him will not be able to put up with too many more defeats like that against 18-year-old Czech Jakub Mensik, at one point appearing to shout to his team: “this game is not for me any more”.
Murray, whose first-round win over Alexandre Muller on Tuesday was his first victory since October, was beaten in a gruelling encounter which lasted over three hours.
The Scot will consider Mensik an opponent he should not be losing to, especially has he had already won eight games on the ATP Tour by the time the Czech was born, so what’s next for Murray and when can we expect to see him on Sky Sports Tennis?
The 36-year-old, who is playing with a metal hip, has faced questions about his future but he replied last week by saying: “I can do whatever I want.
