Andy Murray hopes to return to competitive action at
Brisbane at the end of December.
Andy Murray is set to step up his rehabilitation
program by returning to practice next month.
The World No.4 underwent back surgery in September
following a longstanding injury and was forced to pull
out of the end of season ATP World Finals in London.
"Rehab is going to plan and he's aiming to be in Miami
in mid-November," Murray's spokesman told CNN.
Murray is currently planning to play in an exhibition
tournament in Barbados at the end of November
before making a competitive return at the ATP 250
event in Brisbane in December.
The two-time grand slam winner has
suffered with back injuries throughout his
career and was forced to withdraw from
this year's French Open in May before
going on to triumph at Wimbledon.
Murray's failure to compete at Roland
Garros was the first time he had
withdrawn from a grand slam tournament
since 2007 where a wrist injury prevented
him from playing in the French capital.
Last month he failed in the defense of his
U.S. Open title, losing out to Switzerland's
Stanislas Wawrinka at the quarterfinals
stage in straight sets.
He will hope to return to grand slam action in Australia
next January before playing for Great Britain in its Davis
Cup tie with the U.S. the following month.
