Murray joins top class draw for Swiss Indoor event

12:32 pm on 28 October 2011

The tennis world number three Andy Murray will take a wildcard entry into next week's ATP Swiss Indoor Champs where he joins world number one Novak Djokovic and home hero Roger Federer.

The Scot is on a hot streak after winning three titles in a row this month in Asia - Bangkok, Tokyo and Shanghai.

Other top-10 additions to begin play on Tueday at the St Jakobshalle include world number seven Czech Tomas Berdych and eighth-ranked American Mardy Fish.

Murray passed Federer into the number three spot after winning the Shanghai Masters.

Djokovic arrived in Basel on Thursday and was hitting with Federer at a local sports club 24 hours later.

The Serb has not competed since a back injury flared during the Davis Cup semi-final against Argentina in September, while Federer will be making his first start since leading Switzerland past Australia and into the Davis Cup World Group in Sydney.
