Andy Murray could join Nadal and Thiem in Abu Dhabi

Talking to British media after his Paris Masters exit to Koepfer Murray spoke about his plans for the finish of this and the start of next season. Speaking on next season he admitted to eyeing a possible return at the Abu Dhabi tennis exhibition event in December.

He said:

"I might go away for a little bit. Potentially play in the Abu Dhabi exhibition, as well, which is kind of middle of December. Then there is a thing in Scotland which will get a couple of good matches there too."

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."
