ATP: Murray will start in Marseille

Andy Murray will serve at the ATP tournament in Marseille in 2019. The Scotsman is therefore part of a great 250cc tournament field.

In addition to Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Denis Shapovalov, Borna Coric, Kyle Edmund and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will also be competing in France. Defending champion Karen Khachanov will also come to Marseille to repeat his triumph from last year.

But the fans should be especially happy about the former world number one Andy Murray. The 31-year-old, who looks back on a messed up 2018 season and won the event in Marseille in 2008, wants to attack again in 2019 and will serve in the halls of Europe after the Australian Open.

In addition to the tournament in Marseille, the two-time Wimbledon champion will also play in Montpellier, Sofia or Rotterdam. For the British, the main thing is to improve his world ranking position so that he no longer has to rely on a wildcard from the organisers at the larger tournaments.

Currently, the Scotsman only ranks 263th in the world rankings. This is mainly due to a hip injury that took Murray out of action for almost exactly one year between Wimbledon 2017 and Queen’s 2018.
