Andy Murray, Sebastian Korda given wild cards to Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati

The organizers of the Western & Southern Open announced on Tuesday that former World No.1 Andy Murray has accepted a wild card entry to the tournament, an event that the Brit has won twice.

The two-time champion (2008, 2011) holds a prestigious 33-13 record at the event, and defeated World No.5 Alexander Zverev en route to a Round of 16 showing last year. Now ranked at World No.105, Murray last competed in men's doubles at the Tokyo Olympic Games, losing in the quarterfinals.

Joining Murray at Cincinnati is #NextGenATP star Sebastian Korda, who was also granted a wild card entry to the event. The American will be making his second appearance at the tournament, after falling in the first round last year.
