Andy Murray wants to bring a regular ATP Tour event to Scotland as part of his sporting legacy – with the SSE Hydro and SECC already earmarked as joint venues.

Murray's management team have been in talks about staging an ATP 250 event in Glasgow a few years down the line, possibly once Britain's greatest ever player has finally hung up his racket.

And Murray himself says the Scottish public, whose support for the Davis Cup ties north of the Border hasn't gone unnoticed by the sport's governing bodies, deserve to be served up more than just the odd team event.

The world No 2, who brought his Andy Murray Live charity event to the Hydro on Wednesday night, said: 'I think it is a possibility. It would have to be indoors at some stage. But it is definitely possible if you can find the right facility to host it.

'It can be tricky to have indoor events, you obviously need to have more than one court, and have to have the space to do that.

'But when you see the events we have had here over the last few years, there won't be many places that can sell out seven or eight nights of eight ten thousand seats, anywhere really.

'So there is definitely an appetite for it. Whether it happens or not remains to be seen but there is definitely an appetite for it.'

Sportsmail understands that the plan would be for the Hydro to be the venue for the main show court, with additional courts just a few hundred yards away at the SECC.

Murray gave only partial approval to proposed changes to the Davis Cup on Wednesday, meanwhile, giving a thumbs up to anything that reduces his workload – but insisting he wouldn't like to give up the home-and-away format that makes events like last weekend's Glasgow semi-final such a huge thrill for the Brits.

Welcoming plans to reduce matches from best-of-five to best-of-three, crucial for a player who normally pulls a three-day shift of singles and doubles duty, he said: 'I like the idea of changing the format, maybe shortening the weekend.

'For me personally, the last three days at the weekend, coming off the back of the Olympics, Cincinatti, the US Open, being on court for 11 hours or whatever it was over three days – that was really hard.

'A lot of players have spoken about that, maybe shortening the format, playing it over Saturday/Sunday, best of three sets. I like that idea. To try something different. If it doesn't work, you could always change back.

'But a lot of the top players have spoken about the Davis Cup and the scheduling of it, the format of it. I don't think it has changed over the last few years so I think trying something new would give the event a lift, a boost for sure, in terms of the participation of the top players.

'In terms of the neutral venue, I am not sold on that yet. I do love the home and away atmosphere that we get in Davis Cup just now. It is something that we as tennis players aren't really used to, because we travel around the world playing in neutral venues all the time.

'The home and away aspect of it is something that I enjoy and makes it special in comparison to the other events. I am not sure about that.'

Murray saw Wednesday night's event as a chance to not only raise money for two children's charities close to his heart, but to provide another opportunity for youngsters to get inspired by tennis.

'I think it's very important,' he said. 'You know, the Davis Cup has been great in doing that. Kids who haven't watched tennis before and come along to the Davis Cup, they'll see it's such an incredible atmosphere there that it will help them get into it and enjoy it.

'This is the same thing. We have a great time, play some entertaining tennis – and do it in an arena like this.

'I remember going to watch Tim Henman play a Davis Cup tie in Birmingham against Sweden. I think Jamie was there as well – we would have been about 13, 14.

'Those are the sort of things that can get you into the sport – and keep you in it, as well, which is hugely important. So I'm glad to have an event like that here.

'Probably about three years ago, I talked with my team about trying to set up an event in Scotland because there is huge enthusiasm for tennis here – but we didn't have any events.

'Obviously it's taken a little while to get to this stage. Since then, we've had the Davis Cup ties here in Glasgow and they've been incredibly well attended. The support we've had has been fantastic. That was why we decided to come here to Glasgow.

'All of the money raised tonight will be going to charity – half to UNICEF and half to Young People's Future, which is a local charity in Glasgow helping children get better opportunities.

'That was why I wanted to set this tournament up in the first place. Hopefully we can make a lot of money for them and make a big difference to a lot of children's lives.'
