After the match Murray was a bit disappointed but he also believed that his performances overall on clay have been good and that he is now looking forward to the grass-court season. Murray had a very good run in the French Open and he believes that his form can help him at Wimbledon because he could get into the top 12 seeds. Which would mean he could avoid he top four seeds until the quarter finals.
The young spaniard who defeated Murray now looks to Jeremy Chardy who defeated the talented Russian Dmitry Tursunov.
