- Murray was beaten by Daniil Medvedev in Qatar Open final
Andy Murray has pulled out of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships following his run to the Qatar Open final. The 35-year-old played a series of long matches before losing to Daniil Medvedev on Saturday and has decided not to play this week in Dubai.
The tournament cited a hip injury for Murray’s withdrawal, setting alarm bells ringing given the problems he has had with the joint, but the PA news agency understands there are no major physical issues and the decision is precautionary.
