Andy Murray to return to action next week following birth of daughter

Two-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray will return to competitive action next week for the first time since becoming a father.

The Scotsman's wife Kim Sears gave birth to the couple's first child, thought to be named Sophia, a fortnight ago.

Murray has not played since losing to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final last month, but he is due to be back in action next week.

The 28-year-old has been named in the five-man Davis Cup team for Great Britain's first-round World Group series against Japan.

The team, who won the trophy in November, will compete for three days from March 4.
