Andy Murray made yet another change to his schedule, after he received a wild card for the 2023 Dubai Championships.
Previously, the former world no. 1 withdrew from the 2023 Rotterdam Open, which is held only two weeks before the ATP 500 event in Dubai is scheduled to start. Murray is a former champion in Dubai, where he defeated Fernando Verdasco in the 2017 final.
In 2023, he will be joining the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, and Andrey Rublev on the entry list. The tournament promises to be a spectacle as a lot of former Grand Slam champions and Top 10 members signed up for the event.
“Coming back to Dubai brings with it a lot of good memories, not least 2017 and the final with Fernando. My form is improving and my game is getting better, so the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships provides another great opportunity for me to continue to climb back up the rankings."
Also Colm McLoughlin, the executive vice chairman and CEO of Dubai Duty Free, spoke about Murray's presence in Dubai, saying:
“We are delighted to welcome Andy back to Dubai. Everybody knows how important a figure he is in British tennis and, as we have seen in the seven previous times he has competed at our event, he always attracts a strong and passionate support base. He accepted our wild card last year and was a credit to the tournament, and we are very happy he has accepted our invite once again.”
