Andy Murray not concerned after suffering back problems in Paris Masters match

Andy Murray has claimed that his fitness should not be an issue for the ATP World Tour Finals and Davis Cup final after suffering back problems during his quarter-final match against Richard Gasquet at the Paris Masters today.

The Scotsman, who has won two Grand Slam titles in his career so far, stiffened up during his three-set win over the crowd favourite.

When asked by Sky Sports News if his back problem was a concern, Murray said: "No, I don't think so. I was moving well right through to the end. It was giving me a little bit of trouble on my serve, but that can happen, it's a long season. [Gasquet] puts you in positions on the court that not a lot of guys are able to.

"The first two matches [in Paris] were relatively quick and easy. I wasn't put under that much stress in those matches. Maybe it's normal after two and a half weeks since Shanghai, and a couple of quick matches, to feel a little stiff and sore.

"But that's a good thing, so I can get that out of the system. Come the World Tour Finals and Davis Cup, it shouldn't be a problem."

Murray, who will take on David Ferrer in the semi-finals, had back surgery in 2013.
