Andy Murray will play at the Madrid Open next week after changing his mind about skipping the clay-court season and accepting a tournament wildcard.

The Dunblane ace, who lost to world number two Daniil Medvedev in Miami in his last match last month, could also play in Rome.

However, he is expected to then focus on Wimbledon preparatio­ns rather than the French Open, which begins in May.

The 34 year-old had initially decided to miss the clay-court season because of the toll it takes on his body.

But he has been practising in Florida with Ivan Lendl and may even play in Rome the week after Madrid.
