Follow Us
Former World No.1 Andy Murray is making the most of his time on the ATP tour by participating in consecutive tournaments. Various organizers have offered wild-cards for the Brit to play their events. Having shown significant improvement in the latter half of the 2021 season, Murray is aiming to continue the same form this year as well.
The two-time Wimbledon champion started this year on a great note by reaching the finals at Sydney International, where he lost to Russian player Aslan Karatsev. But the Australian Open wasn’t fruitful for the Brit as he was ousted in the second round by youngster Taro Daniel.

Considering the way Murray has been intensely fighting against youngsters in each and every tournament, the Dubai Duty Free Tennis championships could well become the tournament for the Brit to prove his versatility.
Murray won the Dubai Open back in 2017, when he was the no.1 ranked player on tour and it remained his only title for the season. This year, Murray can expect tougher opponents right from the first round as several top players are planning to start their campaign with Dubai.
All things considered, it’s good to see Andy Murray playing back-to-back tournaments as he slowly tries to get back inside the top 50 of men’s singles ranking by end of this year.
