Andy Murry In London

Andy Murray

Andy Murray will make a late push for vital ranking points and a spot in the World Tour Finals with a wildcard entry into the Austrian Open.

The British No 1 currently stands provisional 10th on the season points race for the season-ending showpiece in London from November 9.
Murray has fallen 60 points behind another hot London contender David Ferrer, who beat him in the third round of last week's Shanghai Masters, and has taken another wild card in Vienna.

"I didn't necessarily play my best in Shenzhen, but I managed to win the tournament. And there's still obviously a few more weeks left in the season."

Canadian Milos Raonic holds the all-important eighth-spot, 95 points ahead of the former Wimbledon winner.
Such is his desire not to miss out on the event that Murray will have played for six consecutive weeks if he completes his newly-revised schedule through the Paris Masters next month.
"I've played some pretty good tennis," said the 27-year-old after leaving Asia where he ended a 15-month title drought with victory in Shenzhen.
"I didn't necessarily play my best in Shenzhen (China, a fortnight ago), but I managed to win the tournament. And there's still obviously a few more weeks left in the season."

First appearance

It will be the first Austrian appearance for Murray who takes the second seeding and is joined in the field at the Stadthalle by Ferrer, who he is scheduled to meet in the final.
The top-seeded Ferrer, Murray, number three Shanghai Masters semi-finalist Feliciano Lopez and fourth-seed Philipp Kohlschreiber all have first-round byes.
The Scot will face his first test when he plays the winner from Canadian Vasek Pospisil and a qualifier while Ferrer opens against either Tobias Kamke of Germany or Italian Simone Bolelli.
Czech Lukas Rosol is seeded fifth, ahead of Croatian Ivo Karlovic, Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez on seventh and Austrian future hope Dominic Thiem on eighth.
Thiem beat Rosol for his only win during the just-completed Asian swing, but reached the US Open fourth round.
