Andy Murray will withdraw from next week\u2019s Japan Open in Tokyo through injury.<\/p>\n
The Scot is ending his Asian swing early after winning just one of his four matches and suffering a 6-3 6-2 first-round loss to Roman Safiullin in Shanghai last week.<\/p>\n
The PA news agency understands Murray plans to be back in time to play at the Swiss Indoors in Basel, beginning on October 23.<\/p>\n
Murray will then compete at the Paris Masters and he is likely to play at the Moselle Open in Metz in November.<\/p>\n
The two-time Wimbledon champion could also be involved at the Davis Cup finals in late November if selected by Great Britain captain Leon Smith.<\/p>\n
Murray is bidding to improve his world ranking \u2013 currently 39 \u2013 in order to be seeded at the Australian Open next year.<\/p>\n
