"It is exciting to see Andy back in Miami,"
Miami Open Tournament Director and former player James Blake
said in a news release.
"As someone who has had to battle back from injury during his
career, I understand and respect all the hard work Andy has put
in to get back on tour."
Murray, a three-times Grand Slam champion, has had a stop-start
year after he was unable to fly to the Australian Open after
testing positive for COVID-19.
The 33-year-old Briton's last tournament was the Rotterdam Open
where he was beaten by Russian Andrey Rublev two weeks ago. He
then decided to sit out this week's Dubai Championships after
his wife gave birth to their fourth child.
The Miami Open, which will feature 74 of the top 77 ranked men,
is scheduled to run from March 22-April 4.
