The 20-year-old is scheduled to play in the Masters Series event in Cincinnati next week and in the ATP event in New Haven, Connecticut, the following week, however, the nature of his defeat against the Italian has left him uncertain.

"I haven't decided what I'm going to do," said Murray. "I might stay here and train. I might go to Florida to practise for a week. I just need to see what is the best thing for me."

The 13th seed had made a successful return to action on Tuesday when he beat American Robby Ginepri in straight sets in his first match since sustaining an injury to his right wrist in mid-May.

Unlike Ginepri, who although competitive could not live with Murray, Fognini took full advantage of Murray's inability to fully use his forehand and the British number one admits he needs to banish any apprehension following the wrist injury.

"I just need to keep building confidence on it," Murray said.

"I wanted to be back on the court so much, but it's not enjoyable when you're losing 6-2 6-2 against someone that you know you'd be favoured to beat when you're ready.

"It is two-and-a-half weeks from now, so there's something seriously wrong with my wrist if I'm not fine to play the US Open. If I had to, I'd go out and play there even if it was my first tournament (back). I'd like to think I'm sort of 70 to 80%."
