“We are delighted to welcome Andy Murray back to Dubai. Despite the limitations imposed by a series of injuries, there is no doubt that his remarkable fighting spirit is as strong as ever and that he is still the best of the sport,” said Tournament Director Salah Tahlak.
He was also optimistic about Murray’s chances of success: “Of course nobody can write off his chances of success and it will be very interesting to see him compete against such a strong field.”
Murray will serve in Dubai for the first time since winning the tournament in 2017. At that time, the Brit celebrated a victory over the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco in two sets (6: 2, 6: 3) in the final.
