Andy Murray will play his first competitive match on home soil since becoming the US Open champion when he faces Tomas Berdych at the ATP World Tour Finals on Monday.
The Scot, who ended Britain’s 76-year wait for a male Grand Slam singles champion, meets Berdych at 13:45 GMT.It will be the opening round-robin singles match of the season-ending championships at London’s O2 Arena.
“It’s kind of revenge for the US Open but it’s another match. Of course the crowd’s going to be on his side, but what I like about this crowd is that they’re one of the best tennis crowds I ever played in front of, so I think it’s going to be just fine.”
Murray has yet to make it past the semi-finals at the O2 but expectations have never been higher in a year that has seen him break his Grand Slam duck and win Olympic gold.
