Murray’s withdrawal gives David Goffin a free ride into the quarterfinals, where he will face either David Ferrer or Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Journalist Nick McCarvel captured some of Murray’s quotes from the press conference:

"It's been a long, long three weeks for me on clay," Murray says as he announces he's out of Rome. "I don't want to risk making it worse"

More from Murray: "I was just flat (in practice today). I was completely flat. It's the right thing. I need to take a break" #IBI15
