Andy Murray receives US Open wildcard

Andy Murray has been awarded a wildcard into the main draw of the US Open.

The former world number one, who won the title in 2012, will play singles at a Grand Slam for the first time since the 2019 Australian Open.

Ranked 129th in the world, Murray was one place too low for direct entry when the entry list was published.

Three-time US Open women's champion Kim Clijsters, 37, has also been offered a wildcard after coming out of retirement for a second time earlier this year.

Murray, 33, is continuing to build up his fitness after struggling with pelvic and shin injuries this year.
