Madrid – Andy Murray cannot play in the tennis classic against Novak Djokovic at the Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid due to illness. The organisers of the clay-court event made the announcement shortly before the scheduled round of 16 match between the Briton and the Serb.
This means Djokovic is through to the quarter-finals without a fight. The world number one will face the winner of the duel between Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz and Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic. Alexander Zverev will fight for a place in the quarter-finals against Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti on Thursday afternoon.
