"I spend most of my time here and in my bed, so I haven' t had the chance to do anything yet," said Andy Murray at a 2010 China Open news conferenceĀ in BeijingĀ on Saturday.

The 23-year-old was not at his top mood when entering the conference room, saying that he was awake from 3:00 in the morning.

It' s the British' s first show at China Open.

"I' ve played once in Tokyo a few years ago, and I did very badly," said the China Open debutant. "I really enjoyed it when I came over here for the Olympics. It was a great experience to me, so that was why I decided to come back here."

The current world number four began the season by reaching the final of Australian Open, but got no titles except winning the Toronto Masters.

He split with his coach Miles Maclagan in late July, and stayed in want of a coach afterwards.

He was still in search for the right person to coach him.

"You know, I don' t want to just go for anyone and it might be a mistake in three, four months," he said. "I want to make sure I get the right person."

Murray said he planned to get himself ready for the upcoming Shanghai Masters through China Open, which would begin later this month.

"Just take a few days to get used to the conditions here, playing outdoors again, and obviously pretty windy," said Murray.
