The name of the three-time major winner Andy Murray is on the Enry List for the second ATP Challenger tournament in Biella, Italy. Unadorned framed between the Russian globetrotter Evgeny Donskoy and the Italian climber Lorenzo Musetti. Rumor has it that Murray had already considered starting in Quimper (France) this week, the organizers would have met the Scotsman and granted him some extra wishes. But then Murray decided to stay at home in the UK.
But now it looks like he's heading to Italy for the second event in Biella, which is scheduled to start on February 15th. Andy Murray actually wanted to go to the second week of the Australian Open, which would have been rather unlikely after the performances shown in 2020. As one of the determining players of the last decade, Murray had received a wildcard from the organizers, but could not use it - because he had delivered a positive corona test. And therefore would not have come out of quarantine in time.
