Murray withdraws from Dubai tournament

Andy Murray pulled out of the Dubai Tennis Championships just hours ahead of a quarterfinal match against Richard Gasquet of France because of a viral infection.

Murray, who is also suffering from an ankle injury, said he's been feeling poorly since the Australian Open earlier this year. Second-seeded Murray cruised past Arnaud Clement of France 6-2, 6-3 on Wednesday.
