SYDNEY, Jan 7 — Former world number one Andy Murray has been handed a wildcard into the main draw of next week’s Sydney Tennis Classic, organisers said today.
The 34-year-old Briton, who has slipped to 134th in the world rankings after long injury lay-offs due to hip surgery, was also handed a main draw wildcard into the Australian Open, which starts in Melbourne on January 17. Murray’s preparations for the year’s opening Grand Slam, however, began on a losing note when he lost to Argentina’s world number 76 Facundo Bagnis in the first round of the Melbourne Summer Series earlier this week.
“I’m looking forward to playing in Sydney for the first time and continuing my preparation for the Australian Open,” said Murray, who has won three majors and two Olympic singles gold medals. The Sydney Tennis Classic is a new, one-off WTA 500 and ATP 250 tournament that will immediately follow the men’s team-based ATP Cup. — Reuters
