Jamie Murray has called on his brother Andy to play with a \u201cclear head\u201d to resurrect his results on the tennis court. The three-time Grand Slam champion said he wasn\u2019t enjoying his tennis after suffering another disappointing first-round exit at this week\u2019s Rolex Paris Masters. Speaking exclusively to Express Sport, Jamie said that the world No 40 still had some good tennis in him but needed to get into a better headspace.<\/p>\n

Andy Murray\u2019s woes continued in Paris earlier this week, as he crashed out to Alex de Minaur despite serving for the match twice. The former world No 1 now has a 16-17 record in matches on the ATP Tour this season and has not been beyond the second round of an event since August.<\/p>\n

The younger Murray brother shared his frustrations after his loss on Monday, admitting that he hadn\u2019t been enjoying his tennis for several months. And doubles ace Jamie believes that the 36-year-old must get into a clear headspace to let his tennis do the talking on a match court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he still has a lot of good tennis in him,\u201d the doubles world No 18 told Express Sport. \u201cI think when he\u2019s playing with a clear head and has a good idea of what he\u2019s trying to do on the court then he still can compete well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when he\u2019s not in a clear headspace then he doesn\u2019t compete and he doesn\u2019t get the results that he wants.\u201d Andy himself has already confessed to feeling frustrated on both the match court and the practice court, and Jamie advised his brother to focus on the mental side before looking at his tennis.<\/p>\n

The two-time men\u2019s doubles Grand Slam champion added: \u201cSo for me, first and foremost is get the performer side of things under control and then let\u2019s start talking about tennis because I still think he has a lot of good tennis in him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be disappointed with his season and hopefully he can start strong next year and give a good account of himself.\u201d Jamie\u2019s comments come after the 36-year-old confessed that he wasn\u2019t \u201cenjoying\u201d his tennis following his defeat to De Minaur.<\/p>\n
