*** Andy Murray will face lucky loser Ivo Karlovic in the first round of the Japan Open after Gael Monfils withdrew with a knee injury. Frenchman Monfils's season has been ravaged by the right knee problem that forced him out on Tuesday. The former world number seven, who slid down the rankings after four months out earlier this year, had been on a promising comeback trail in recent weeks, reaching the quarter-finals in Bangkok last week and the semis in Metz in September.
