Andy Murray to make playing return in Italy

Andy Murray has travelled to Italy and will make his return in qualifying for an ATP Challenger tournament.

Murray, 33, is able to play in Biella next week because a quarantine waiver has been agreed for players travelling from outside the European Union.

Otherwise, they have to self-isolate for two weeks.

Britain's Murray had already entered the second of two Challenger tournaments, which begins in the small northern Italian city on 15 February.

But, with places in the main draw for next week's tournament already assigned, the former world number one will have to go through qualifying.
