• Murray suffered first-round defeat at Winston-Salem Open
• ‘Maybe I need play a level down to get some matches’
Andy Murray is considering dropping down a level to further his singles comeback after suffering a first-round defeat at the Winston-Salem Open. The former world No 1 went down 7-6 (8), 7-5 to the American Tennys Sandgren in a promising display in just his second singles match back since career-saving hip surgery in January.
Murray has already confirmed he will not play in the US Open, which starts in New York next week, and will now ponder the possibility of playing some games at the Challenger level – one below the ATP Tour – to get as many matches as he can.
