Doctor offers to help Murray

The world number three has won just four matches since his demoralising loss in the Australian Open final to Roger Federer two months ago.

A year after playing the Indian Wells final and then winning Miami in March, 2009, Murray is now facing the dreaded clay-court season in Europe with a massive lack of confidence.

The Scot lost in the California quarter-finals and was humbled in Miami by number 101 American Mardy Fish in the second round.

"I'm there for him, we've got a good relationship and he can pick up the phone at any time," said psychologist Robert Fonzoni to British media. "I'm going to be trying to contact him in the next day or so to see if there's anything I can do."

Fonzoni helped Murray in 2007 to get through a wrist injury which keep him off court for the spring and part of summer.

"He knows what he needs to work on," said Forzoni. "If you're not on top of your game, it's a matter of working hard in training, putting those things into practise and getting back to basics.

Murray has gone to ground since his weekend loss, saying: "Mentally, the last few weeks I've been really poor and that's unacceptable.

"I need to get my mind right; I need to get focused again. It's purely down to me, what goes on inside my head. I've been very happy off the court but not on it and that's where I need to be happy just now because this is my career.

"I need to start to enjoy my tennis again like at the start of the year. I need to be that person again."
