Andy Murray to face Gilles Muller in Dubai

Andy Murray has been handed a first-round match with Gilles Muller at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

The world number six holds a 2-0 winning record against the big-serving 34-year-old, but the Luxembourg representative has impressed since linking up with British coach Jamie Delgado.

Muller reached the last 16 of the Australian Open before losing in three competitive sets to Novak Djokovic, while he displayed his new-found confidence with a win over Grigor Dimitrov in Rotterdam.

Murray, who is seeded third for the tournament, is in the bottom half of the draw that includes Roger Federer, with Djokovic and Tomas Berdych completing the top four seeds.
