Andy Murray Grabs Wildcard To Compete At Dubai Tennis Championships
British tennis legend Andy Murray has confirmed his participation at this month's Dubai Tennis Championships, accepting a second consecutive wildcard from organisers. For the second successive year, the three-time Grand Slam champion returns to ATP 500 event, set to run from February 26 to March 4 at Dubai Tennis Stadium. While capturing three Grand Slam times is a huge part of Murray's successful tennis career, the Scot reached World No.1 in 2016 and made history at that year's Olympic Games when he became the only player to win back-to-back gold medals in tennis singles. A two-time finalist in Dubai, Murray defeated Fernando Verdasco in 2017 to lift the trophy, before a series of injuries saw him slip down the world rankings.
