Andy Murray has taken a wildcard into the Pilot Pen event in New Heaven which is the final tournament before the US Open grand-slam event.

The Scot has decided to debut at Pilot Penn to give himself some much needed last minute preparation before the US Open.

Having missed more than two months of competition I thought it would be a good idea to play another tournament before the US Open and the Pilot Pen is the perfect opportunity to do so. It will be my first time playing this event and I look forward to it.

Lets hope he doesn't pull out of this one.

So does this mean he plays the 2 Master Series events as well or just the Pilot Pen as it sounds suspiciously like he will pull out of the 2 master series events and just play the Pilot Pen.

If its proved to be correct and Murray only plays the Pilot Pen then he will need a few matches under his belt. If there is a slight tweak to the wrist in his first match, then his participation in the US Open will be in serious jeopardy. If he manages to get a few wins under his belt at the pilot pen he should be okay to get through the first few rounds of the US open, until he meets a seed. If however he loses his first match in teh pilot pen then he could find himself in a tough first match against a qualifier who will be match hardened and already used to the court, so there's definitely a potential upset there.
