Three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray will be making a return to clay court tournament with the upcoming Madrid Open. Murray, who is a two-timer winner at the Madrid Open, has been training in Florida with his coach Ivan Lendl. Currently ranked 83rd in the ATP standings, Murray had initially opted out of the clay court events. Here's more.

Wild Card

The former world number one will be receiving a wild card for the ATP 1000 Masters event. Others who have handed wild cards include five-time ATP singles winner Lucas Pouille, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Next Gen ATP Finals contenders Carlos Valero and Jack Draper. World number three Alexander Zverev will head the event as the defending champion. Zverev beat Matteo Berrettini 6-7, 6-4, 6-3.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • Murray would be making a comeback post a career-saving hip surgery.
  • The 34-year-old had initially decided to skip the clay-court tournaments.
  • Excessive wear and tear on the clay courts had earlier Murray's aggravated injury issues.
  • This almost resulted in him missing out on last year's Wimbledon.
  • While he's available for Madrid Open and Italian Open, he will be unavailable for the Roland Garros.
