Andy Murray will bid to play his way out of his slump by taking up a wildcard for the Monte Carlo Masters.

Murray's season has mirrored his 2010 campaign, in that his form has been dismal since making it through to the final of the Australian Open.

The Scot was a surprise climber in the world rankings to No. 4, despite being dumped out of the Sony Ericsson Open at the first hurdle by Alex Bogomolov Jnr.

Murray has since split with his coach Alex Corretja and is now training his sights on the second major of the year at the French Open. Clay is not Murray's favourite surface and with that in mind he will look to get his eye in at Monte Carlo.

It will be a stellar field for the tournament which begins in April 9, as Roger Federer will also be in action alongside defending champion Rafael Nadal and the hottest player in tennis at the present time, Novak Djokovic.
