Andy Murray has been handed a difficult draw at the bett1HULKS Indoors in Cologne as he will open his campaign against Fernando Verdasco with Alexander Zverev awaiting the winner in the second round.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Murray has accepted a wildcard entry into the ATP 250 event and he will face world No 59 Verdasco in the first round.
US Open runner-up Zverev, who is the top seed and has a bye into the second round, will take on the winner of the Verdasco-Murray clash.
Murray’s fellow Brit Kyle Edmund is also in the top half of the draw and he will face a qualifier first up and could meet the winner of the Zverev v Verdasco-Murray clash in the quarter-final.
