ANDY MURRAY has not ruled playing in his Glasgow exhibition match Wednesday after playing through the pain barrier this weekend.

The world No.2 raced through Great Britain’s fourth Davis Cup semi-final rubber yesterday as he swept Guido Pella aside, but it wasn’t without its sacrifices.

Murray recorded a convincing 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory against the Argentine but was forced off court for a medical time-out after appearing his right quad muscle.

This led to Murray being off court for a prolonged period of time, only to hobble uncomfortably around the court as he eventually saw off his opponent.

Now just two days away from his Andy Murray live charity match at the SSE Hydro, where he will face Grigor Dimitrov after Gael Monfils pulled out due to injury on Friday, the Davis Cup hero is hoping he will be fit in time for the showpiece event.

"I was still moving okay, it was just the pain, and when you get pain in your body, that distracts you, you start worrying about that," said Murray. "Rather than hitting the ball, the tactics and what you are trying to do in the match.

"I wasn't thinking about withdrawing, I was more concerned about how my leg was.

“There’s not many times in the tennis season when it’s easy to fit extra stuff in. I don’t know how that specific day came up, but I don’t know when would have been a better time for me to do it, to be honest.

“I knew wasn’t going to be playing a tournament this week. I normally go to China five or six days beforehand, it’s just trying to find the best time.

“Obviously it’s not ideal but it’s the time that was the best date available. I’ve been trying to set it up for a few years so hopefully I’ll be okay on Wednesday.”

Murray will be keen not to let down a Glasgow crowd that served him and his Great Britain team-mates so well this weekend.

In what is the third time in two years that the Davis Cup has come to the Emirates Arena, a packed crowd of over 8000 played a pivotal role in getting this semi-final to go right down to the wire.

“The crowd helps,” said Murray. “I never worry that, when I get out there, I’m going to feel flat. You just can’t feel that way when you have that intense an atmosphere.

“Having such a supportive crowd makes a huge difference to all the players and it certainly makes it harder for the away team.”
