Andy Murray Says 'Best-Case Scenario' Is a Singles Return at Cincinnati Open

Andy Murray is hoping for a best-case scenario to make his singles comeback at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is an ATP Masters 1000 event that starts August 11.

However, if that date doesn't play out, Murray said he'll wait a little while longer.

"Best-case scenario probably would be Cincinnati, and then if I wasn't able to play in Cincinnati, there's a good chance I would probably wait until after New York because I wouldn't want my first tournament to be playing best of five [sets]," Murray said to reporters.

Murray is playing doubles this week with his brother Jamie at the Citi Open in Washington, D.
