LONDON —
Andy Murray has reversed his
decision to skip the entire clay-court season after being confirmed as a
wildcard entry for the Madrid Open.

The 34-year-old,
who has been training in Florida with coach Ivan Lendl, had initially
considered sitting out all matches on the surface to minimize the wear and tear
on his body ahead of the grass court season.
However, he has now changed his plans and will be in
action in the Spanish capital next week.
Murray could also enter the
Italian Open, which
begins on May 2.
But he remains unlikely to feature at the French
Open.
Former world number one Murray, who has battled back
from career-saving hip surgery, previously said clay had exacerbated injury
issues and almost caused him to miss last year’s Wimbledon.
Murray, now
ranked 83rd in the world, has lost in the second round in his last six
tournaments, including to world number two
Daniil Medvedev at the Miami Open
late last month.
He recently reunited with Lendl, with whom he won
all three of his Grand Slam titles.
