Andy Murray hit the practice court in Madrid on Tuesday as the British No 1 adjusted to the fast conditions ahead of his opening match on Wednesday.

Murray won his first ever clay-court tour title on Monday with a hard-fought three-set victory in more than three hours against Philipp Kohlschreiber at the BMW Open in Munich.

Twenty-four hours later, Murray was already on the court in Madrid as he worked on the adjustment from the slow and heavy conditions in Munich to the fast clay at high-altitude in the Spanish capital.

Murray said: 'Conditions last week were very different to what they are here. Obviously I think a little bit more altitude here. But it's been very warm. Last week it was very cold a lot of the days and raining.

'It's going to be a tricky turnaround. I practice this afternoon, and will just make the best of the time that I've got before my match tomorrow (Wednesday).'

Murray will take much confidence from ending his clay-court drought on Monday, which was one of his goals that he set out at the start of this year.
