Andy Murray has the run of perhaps the world's most luxurious hotel suite after picking up a perk at the expense of Rafael Nadal at the Barclays Championships.
With top seed Nadal and Roger Federer both missing through injury, Murray and top seed Novak Djokovic are now the men to beat.
The leading pair are booked into suites at the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel, which Murray says contains a sitting room larger than his London apartment.
"I went for a run around my suite this morning," the Scot joked after his first night in his luxury accommodation. He also was able to relax with a cruise on an 85-foot yacht the day before he began play on opening day.
Murray, winner of his last event this month in Rotterdam over the unfit Nadal, will hope to make the most of his first round as he prepares for Britain's Davis Cup zonal tie March 6-8 in Glasgow against the Ukraine.
The Scot, ranked fourth in the world starts, against Sergiy Stakhovsky, whom he defeated in the US Open junior final in 2005.
Murray also beat the world No. 79 in January on his way to the Doha title to start the year. "There were not a lot of issues in that match," he said of the straight-set win.
