Andy Murray: Scot's second thoughts over decision not to play US Open singles

Andy Murray says he has had some second thoughts about his decision not to play singles at the US Open.

Murray lost in straight sets to Richard Gasquet in Cincinnati on Monday in his first singles match for seven months.

Murray had earlier turned down a wildcard for the main draw in New York because he was not convinced his body would be ready for five-set matches.

But the qualifying matches - which begin in New York on Monday - are played over the best of three sets.

"I don't know why we didn't really think of it, but it just never crossed my mind until this morning," Murray told BBC Sport.
