Andy Murray Pulls Out of Dubai Because of Virus

Third seed Andy Murray was forced to pull out of the Dubai Championships due to illness. He admitted that he has been hindered with an illness since the Australian Open.

Murray started to feel worse after he won the match against Arnaud Clement on Wednesday.

"I woke up in the middle of the night sweating," he said. "I went to the doctor and started taking antibiotics, but I have felt very tired all week. I have felt cold and shivery and had a sore throat, I feel that my temperature is up, and my body feels bad."

What is in Murray’s future when it comes to the Davis Cup next week?

"I will have to rest and see," he said. "If I feel bad I won’t play, and if I feel fine I will play," he said.

What is it exactly that is affecting Murray’s health. The worry is that he is developing a form of mononucleosis, the same illness that affected Roger Federer last season.

I hope Andy Murray feels better because I really want to see him play in the Davis Cup. He was a favorite to win a Grand Slam at the beginning of this year.
