World No. 4 Andy Murray will make an immediate return to hard-court action, as the ATP World Tour moves to Shanghai for the second week of October. The Scot enters the Masters 1000 draw seeded second.
World No. 4 Andy Murray makes his return to competition following a title-winning run in Tokyo. The 24-year-old improved his season record to 50-11 after rallying to defeat world No. 2 Rafael Nadal for the championship. He has won 21 of his last 22 matches, which includes a successful effort in Bangkok.
Murray has been placed in competitive quarter of the draw that includes (8) Gilles Simon, (11) Viktor Troicki and (13) Stanislas Wawrinka. Additional players in the section are Albert Montanes, Matthew Ebden, Ryan Harrison, Donald Young and Thomaz Bellucci.
The Scot is scheduled to begin his run against either Bellucci or Dmitry Tursunov in the opening round. The closest seed to Murray is Wawrinka, who looms as a possible round of 16 opponent.
Successful movement through the draw may set a quarterfinal clash with David Ferrer or Andy Roddick.
