Former World No.1 Andy Murray has already played six tournaments after the US Open 2021. It appears that the British star wants to play as much tennis as possible and interestingly, he will now feature at the Rolex Paris Masters 2021 as well.

Even though Andy Murray hasn’t won a single tournament in 2021, his gameplay has improved to a great extent. It is because of this reason that many fans are backing him ahead of the upcoming ATP 1000 Masters tournament in Paris, especially after his win against Hubert Hurkacz at the Vienna Open 2021.
