Murray had his most successful season on clay last year,
winning one out of three finals, but has seen his fortunes on
the surface reverse with the loss to Fognini marking three
unsuccessful clay tournaments in a row.
"I wasn't creating enough chances on my own," Murray was quoted
by the ATP website (www.atpworldtour.com).
"Normally during matches your opponent might give you a few
opportunities with some errors, and obviously you hope to create
a few yourself. That certainly wasn't the case today. The only
chance I really got was when he was making errors."
Murray has won one out of seven tournaments this season, exiting
in the Round of 16 or earlier in four of those. He was
eliminated in the semi-finals at the Barcelona Open and his only
title win was at the Dubai Open in March.
The 30-year-old was particularly unhappy with his movement on
the court.
"Movement the last two weeks has not been good," Murray said.
"My movement has been a big help, the last couple of years, but
certainly the last couple of weeks, that's been a problem. So I
need to address that."
The Briton also said his number one ranking had nothing to do
with his performances.
"I'm just not playing well and I don't think it's to do with my
ranking," Murray added.
Next up for Murray is the French Open that starts next week.
