Andy Murray withdraws from ATP Challenger Tour event in Italy

Andy Murray has withdrawn from this week's ATP Challenger Tour event in Italy.

Last week, in his first tournament since October, the former world number one was beaten in the final of a second-tier event in Biella, Italy by Illya Marchenko.

Murray had to miss the Australian Open after testing positive for coronavirus.

It is understood Murray is happy with the number of matches he got under his belt - five in six days - in his run to the final in Italy and plans to leave on Thursday for the ATP 250 event in France, which runs from 21-28 February.
