Murray to return at Cincy
—
The Western and Southern Open announced they have given a main draw wild card to Andy Murray.
Murray won the event near Mason, Ohio in 2008 and 2011, and was finalist in 2016 after winning Olympic gold in Brazil.
Murray is set to play his first singles event since surgery to repair his hip after his tearful “farewell” at the Australian Open in Melbourne.
