Murray poised for Valencia return

Murray: Not played since Davis Cup

Andy Murray will play his first match since September 20 later on Monday when he begins his campaign at the Valencia Open.

Murray, the top seed, will take on Spanish wild card Daniel Gimeno-Traver in the first round.

The world number four has not played since winning both his singles matches in Great Britain's Davis Cup defeat to Poland in Liverpool.

The 22-year-old has been suffering with a wrist injury but told his personal website: "The wrist is fine.

"I'm still icing it and exercising it but it's tough to do too much about it specifically.

"I've played two matches in nine weeks, so I wouldn't be surprised if I play poorly at first, but I will try my best."
