Much fanfare has been made about the way Andy Murray intends to burst out of the starting blocks at the beginning of the 2013 after an intensive training program under coach Ivan Lendl and fitness trainer Jez Green. So there was a distinct sense of anti-climax as the Scot lost his season opener in the Mubadala World Tennis Championship.

 

US Open champion Murray appeared off his game and ill at ease as he lost out covincingly 6-3,6-4 against Serbia’s Janko Tipsarevic on the opening day of the lucrative exhibition event in Abu Dhabi.

 

Lendl opted against making the trip to the Middle East and will instead meet up with Murray in Australia. The world no.3 attempted to make light of his defeat saying: “Obviously, I have a lot to work on and I need to play more matches.

 

“I’m looking forward to training very hard and playing some of my best tennis next year. It’s nice to play in events like this and it’s a great atmosphere to play.”

 

The 25 year-old Scot will now head Down Under to defend the Brisbane International title next week on the ATP World Tour but maintained he’ll learn from the defeat ahead of the Australian Open, which starts on January 14.

 

Murray, who lasted a scant one hour and 24 minutes on court, added: “I have some things to work on in the next few weeks, but I am looking forward to it.

 

“I have been training very hard in Miami. Now I’ll move on and I enjoy Australia having played some of my best tennis there. So I hope that I can do the same this year.”
