Andy Murray admits his recent downturn in form could have been avoided had he prioritised dedicated training over competition.
Murray 's season ended in a whimper as he was defeated by French veteran Giles Simon 4-6 7-5 6-3 in the first round of the Paris Masters. The 35-year-old had a bright start to the campaign, reaching finals in both Sydney and Stuttgart.
But the Scot's performances have dipped in recent months and Murray has grown frustrated at a recurring cramp problem that is stifling him during matches. Murray's mystery cramp issue, that also troubled him at the US Open, hindered the former world No.1 in his match against Simon, who is playing in his final tournament on the ATP Tour.
