Murray was asked to clarify his Abu Dhabi comment as the event did not mention Murray as one of the players that would be attending. On that, he said:

"I don't know 100 per cent if Abu Dhabi is happening or not, but certainly if I wasn't going to go there I would definitely go away and practice for a little bit outdoors in the sun."

He did also admit that he is looking for some time off as he needs it:

"I have played a lot of tennis recently, so it would be nice to just be at home and rest and let the body recover a little bit and the mind, as well. And then make a plan for what I do moving forwards."
