And afterwards, Murray gave the biggest indicator yet that he is feeling strong by revealing his is planning for a full calendar .

“I want to play as much as I can but also bearing in mind I have to be smart with the decisions about which tournaments to play,” Andy Murray said.

“I’ll have next week off and then hopefully be able to play in Dubai and Miami and then see from there.

“There’s the option to play the full clay court swing or drop down and play Challengers to get more matches. I feel I want to be playing at this level.”
