Andy Murray will play Wimbledon hero Marcus Willis in this weekend's Tie Break Tens exhibition in Vienna, live on Sky Sports.

The pair have been drawn in the same group for the event, on Sunday at 6pm on Sky Sports 4, along with former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic.

The trio will take on each other over a first-to-10-points tie-break, with the overall winner of the tournament, which also features Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Dominic Thiem and Tommy Haas, pocketing the 250,000 US dollars prize pot.

Willis burst into the spotlight at Wimbledon this summer by winning seven matches to set up a second-round clash with Roger Federer while ranked 772 in the world.

The 26-year-old will look to make an impression in the ATP event in Vienna next week after being given a wild card into qualifying.

And he is upbeat on his chances of victory at the 'Tens', saying: "It's 10 points. Accrington Stanley would lose to Manchester United over 90 minutes, but in a 10-minute match they would stand a chance. I think it will suit my game."
