ANDY MURRAY will tackle world No.8 Andrey Rublev in round two of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.

Fourth seed Rublev defeated Marcos Giron 7-6(1) 6-3 and is relishing his contest with Britain’s former world No.1.

The Russian said: “Andy is a true legend.

“I have a really good connection with him, I really like him as a person, as a player. It’s going to be fun.” CURLING: Bruce Mouat and his team will represent Scotland for a fourth-successive year at the World Championsh­ip in Calgary next month. AUTO: Lewis Hamilton says winning a recordbrea­king eighth world title will not determine whether he quits Formula One at the end of the year.

The Mercedes driver said: “Of course, [winning an eighth title] is the ultimate dream but I don’t think it will be the deciding factor as to whether I stay or keep going.” GOLF: Scott Jamieson is excited at the possibilit­y of playing three Euro Tour events next month in his home state of Florida.

Lockdown rules in Spain and Portugal could see the Tenerife Open, Gran Canaria Open and Portugal Masters played on US soil.

Jamieson admitted: “It’s great news if it materialis­es to be playing three European Tour events next month.”
