Andy Murray is confident he can still compete to win at Wimbledon for the third time this summer despite crashing out of the Madrid Open in the first round.
The 35-year-old suffered a shock 6-2, 7-6 (7) defeat against world no.164 Andrea Vavassori in the Spanish capital on Thursday afternoon. It was a loss that equalled Murray's worst-ever run in his professional career, having failed to win any of his last four matches on the ATP Tour.
Murray, who is currently ranked no.52 on the planet, previously lost in the opening round at Indian Wells, the Miami Open and the Monte-Carlo Masters. Jack Draper, Dusan Lajovic and Alex de Minaur were the three players to beat Murray in what has been a torturous run for the two-time Wimbledon champion.
