Andy Murray believes he still has the game for a deep run at the Grand Slams, despite the earliest exit of his Wimbledon career last night.

Physically, I was not in a good place coming into the tournament. “It’s frustrating, because I was in a good place with my game,” Murray added. “Now I really want to improve my ranking to a level where I’m getting seeded in slams.

35-year-old two-time champion says his game in a 'better place' than last year.

“If physically I’m in a good place, yeah, I will continue to play,” he said. But, crucially, he was broken in the fifth game of the fourth set by the 20th seed, leaving him with an enormous uphill task. “My game was certainly in a better place,” he said.

Andy Murray crashed out of Wimbledon 2022 after suffering a 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-3), 4-6 loss to America's John Isner on Wednesday.

It's one of those matches that, had I got through, who knows what would have happened," the former world number one added. The Brit, currently ranked 52nd in the world, had never failed to reach the third round in 13 previous appearances at Wimbledon, where he is a two-time winner. Image Credit: Getty Images

The North American hard-court swing was traditionally a swing in which Murray performed well and racked up the ranking points. However, there is clearly something amiss in the Murray return game since his return to the tour, something that was also picked up by tennis betting journalist Andy Schooler: Again, this is difficult to attribute to just one thing but is certainly something that Murray needs to address if he is able to. The main issue for Murray was that he was unable to break the Isner serve. The question is: how did this happen and what can Murray do to improve at this stage of his career? Andy Murray exited Wimbledon at the earliest stage of his career on Wednesday. He did so after losing to the #20 seed John Isner for the first time in his career, a previous 8-0 record.

Andy Murray has been warned against a hasty retirement by Andrew Castle and Naomi Broady. The Brit suffered an agonising defeat against John Isner in a ...

"Yes it might not be the goals he had 10-20 years ago, getting to No 1 and winning the Slams, but he wants to be seeded. He's still got goals, still got things he wants to achieve. OK he was upset afterwards but he wants to keep doing it.

One of the Wimbledon ballboys leapt into action and caught the ball before it bounced at the end of a set won by Andy Murray on Centre Court last night ...

He added: "I really want to try and improve my ranking to a level where I'm getting seeded in Slams. If not [by] the US Open, then going into the Australian Open next year." The third set also went the distance and the Brit showed why he is a great champion and claimed it 7-3 to halve the deficit. As Centre Court erupted when Andy Murray took the third set against John Isner last night, a ball boy was so swept up in the action he caught the ball before it bounced.

The two time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was defeated by John Isner and is unsure if he will play next year due to concerns about his physical health.

"This is why I still play," Isner said. I literally won a Slam," Raducanu said. This was one of the biggest wins of my career." I guess I didn’t give him many opportunities to spin his web and get me tangled up in it. "Yes, I have had attention. But he could not quite do that enough: Isner hit 36 aces — moving him four away from Ivo Karlovic’s total of 13,728, a record since the ATP began tracking that stat in 1991 — and delivered another 60 unreturned serves across the match’s nearly 3 1/2 hours. Murray, who entered the day 8-0 against Isner, only managed to obtain two break points. But it’s extremely difficult, with the problems I’ve had with my body the last few years, to make predictions." If I got embroiled in too many rallies with him, it just wasn’t going to go well for me. He lost that early twice, in his 2005 debut and in 2021. It was an incredible honor to play him on this court, in front of this crowd," said the 37-year-old Isner, who won the longest match in tennis history by a 70-68 score in the fifth set at Wimbledon in 2010 and reached the semifinals there in 2018. If physically I feel good, we’ll try to keep playing.
