Andy Murray will make an emotional return to Melbourne in January when he takes part in the 2022 Australian Open.

It will be Murray's first appearance in the tournament since he admitted in an emotional press conference that the 2019 event could be his last in the sport.

He was due to play last year but his plans were scuppered by a positive Coronavirus test.

"I'm really excited to be back playing at the Australian Open," Murray said.

"I've had some great times in Australia playing in front of the amazing crowds and I can't wait to step back out on court at Melbourne Park."

Tournament director Craig Tiley said: "Andy is renowned for his fighting spirit, passion and love of the game and I'm delighted to welcome him back to Melbourne in January."
