Should Murray be suspended for Marseille withdrawal?

Question

Andy Murray has withdrawn from Marseille to recover from his Australian Open campaign, provoking the tournament chief Jean-Francois Caujolle to state, according to the 'Daily Express', that: “The number one seed of a tournament [i.e., Murray] should have a sense of responsibility. If he does not respect his commitments, he should be suspended by the ATP." So, should the Scot be suspended?

Answer 1

No. It’s not great form to pull out of an event two years running and clearly weakens the quality of the tournament (which is also without Juan Martin del Potro due to a wrist injury), but Murray surely wouldn’t have withdrawn unless he felt either physically or mentally he wasn’t up for the challenge.
