Andy Murray hints at US Open appearance with Cincinnati Masters wildcard


Andy Murray is set to participate in the American hard-court swing after accepting a wildcard into the Cincinnati Masters on August 14. 

The former world number one last participated in the singles competition at Wimbledon after withdrawing from the Tokyo Olympics singles event with a thigh strain.

Murray still competed in the doubles alongside Joe Salisbury, though following their defeat at the quarter-final stage the three time Grand Slam champion was coy on his return date.

However, the Brit’s team did indicate that the 34-year-old should be fit for the US Open later this month, and his wildcard in Cincinnati suggests that Murray is eyeing another appearance at Flushing Meadows.

Murray has enjoyed success at the Western and Southern Open down the years, winning the event in 2008 and 2011 as well as finishing runner-up to Marin Cilic in 2016.
