Demand to see Andy Murray at ATP World Tour Finals surges despite setback against Kei Nishikori

Tennis fans are still desperate to see Andy Murray in action despite the Scot’s disappointing start to the ATP World Tour Finals.

Murray suffered a straight-sets defeat to Japan’s Kei Nishikori at the O2 Arena on Sunday, going down 6-4 6-4.

But despite the setback, the demand for tickets to see Murray play at the tournament is still strong.

Since the Wimbledon champion secured his place at the ATP World Tour Finals, demand for tickets involving Murray has increased by 136 per cent on Viagogo, the ticket marketplace.

“This year’s Barlcays ATP World Tour Finals sees as lot of new faces, such as Kei Nishikori, Milos Raonic and Marin Cilic, and the competition will be fierce,” a spokesperson for Viagogo said.

“This year’s competition is shaping up to be a very exciting one for fans.”

Murray will next face Raonic in the tournament, coming up against the Canadian on Tuesday evening.
