Second seed forced to withdraw prior to quarter-final match

A virus has caused Andy Murray to withdraw from further action at the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships.

“I actually first got the virus in Australia, and I haven’t really felt the same since,” said Murray. “There were a couple of days right at the end of Rotterdam where I started to feel a bit better.

“I’ll go back home to London tomorrow and I’m hoping I’ll be ok in the next three or four days. I’ll then see what happens with it,” he added.

“It is unfortunate that Andy Murray has had to withdraw from the Championships, given his progress so far in the tournament,” said Colm McLoughlin, Managing Director of tournament owners and organisers, Dubai Duty Free. “He has proven to be an extremely popular player here in Dubai with a great number of fans. We wish Andy a speedy recovery in the meantime”.
