Former World No. 1 Andy Murray has taken a wild card into next week’s Open Sud de France in Montpellier, the ATP 250 event announced on social media Monday.
Murray will make his tournament debut in Montpellier looking to build on a strong start to the 2021 season at the Biella Challenger Indoor 1. He won four matches, including eight sets in a row, to reach his first final at any level since 2019.
Murray, currently No. 125 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, will head to Montpellier in search of his third ATP Tour title in France after lifting trophies at Open 13 Provence (Marseille) in 2008 and the Rolex Paris Masters in 2016.
