Andy Murray has played down his chances of completing a Masters Series hat-trick.

The Scot beat unseeded Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-4 7-6 in the final of the Madrid Masters, three months after he won the Cincinnati Masters.

"I am just going to try to keep it going" - Andy Murray

This week Murray will try to defend the St Petersburg Open title he won last year and then he travels to the Paris Masters where he could make it three Masters titles in a row.

But Murray has never reached the semi-finals in either the Paris Masters or the French Open and he does not expect a sudden improvement in his form in the French capital.

Murray said: "I've played great the last few months, I'm just going to try to keep it going.

"I've never played particularly well in Paris so I'll try and play a bit better this year."
