Andy Murray will plough ahead this season after a heartbreak second-round loss on Thursday to exit the Australian Open.
The Scot went down to Japanese qualifier Taro Daniel 6-4 6-4 6-4 in an unhappy end to his Aussie edition.
“I really don’t know what happened. I felt very good on the court physically, but I made too many mistakes in the most important moments of the game.
“I’m very frustrated and it’s a very tough loss for me.”
The former No 1 will carry on in February as he tries to lift his ranking back into the Top 100 after half a decade of injury worries.
“This is a very important year for me for several reasons, and I want to have a good performance in the Grand Slams.
“Reaching the second round of a Grand Slam is not something that particularly motivates me.
“I want to come back here but everything will depend on how I do this year in terms of results and how I perform. at big events.
“I am planning to play in Doha and Dubai. Now I will go home and rest with the family for a bit.
“Then I will start training and prepare for these tournaments.”
