Three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray has been awarded a wild card entry to the upcoming Western & Southern Open, joining a list of Grand Slam champions who have committed to playing at the event.
The Brit will be looking to claim his third title at the event, having triumphed in 2008 and 2011. He will be joining previous champions Daniil Medvedev (2019), Novak Djokovic (2018), Grigor Dimitrov (2017), Marin Cilic (2016) and Rafael Nadal (2013) in the ATP Masters 1000 tournament.
Hosted annually in Cincinnati, this year the tournament will be held from 20-28 August at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Americans Frances Tiafoe, Tennys Sandgren and Tommy Paul have also been awarded wild card entries to this year's event. Sixteen Top 20 players are on the entry list for this month's event, which will be the first ATP tournament to be played since the season was suspended in March.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
