Andy Murray wants to improve his ranking before the US Open so that he won't face high ranked players in the first round.
He thought he could have a deep run at Wimbledon.
It's more challenging if you play against top guys at the beginning.
He said that he wants to improve his ranking to a level where he's gettingseeded in Slams. Going into the Australian Open if not by the US Open.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray had never failed to reach the third round in 13 previous appearances at Wimbledon, where he is a two-time winner.
There are no ranking points for players at Wimbledon this year because of the ban on players from Russia and Belarus.
"One of the reasons why improving your ranking and trying to getseeded is important is to avoid playing top players and dangerous guys early in tournaments."
I don't know what would have happened had I gotten through the match.
His preparations for the grass-court Slam were disrupted by an abdominal injury he sustained in June.
When asked if he would return to Wimbledon, Murray said it would depend on his physical condition.
He said that they would try to keep playing if he felt good.
It's hard to make long-term predictions about how I'm going to be in a few weeks' time because of the problems I've had with my body.
It's difficult to keep my body in top shape to compete.
Murray said that his recent injury wasn't helpful. My game was in a good place and I was in a good place.
I feel bad. I was hoping to do well here.
I enjoy playing at Wimbledon because I feel like I can still compete with the best guys. It's definitely not good.
