Andy Murray’s performance through the years 2012 to 2016 established his place in the iconic tennis Big 4. Over these years, he won 3 Grand Slams and dominated the tennis court, being one of the few tennis players to have defeated each of the Big Three members at their career peaks.
Unfortunately, due to several injuries and surgeries, the Muzza had to step out of the court for a while. However, since Muzza comes from a generation that does not back out, he continues to stay on top of the draw in every tournament.
Andy Murray shares candid thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz vs Novak Djokovic
The Braveheart, Andy Murray has overcome several setbacks and his most recent loss at the Wimbledon 2023 left him downhearted. However, he picked himself back up again and currently competing in the Citi Open.
At the press conference before the Citi Open, he also discussed the most spoken-about match from the same Wimbledon 2023- the finals between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
Andy said, “The end of the match, the last couple of sets, some of the tennis was brilliant. It was really hard conditions that day. It was very blustery, and so the start maybe wasn’t as clean, but that was more because of the conditions. Then, obviously as the match went on, they both played better and better. You could also sort of see Alcaraz learning as the match was going on. It could have gone either way. It was so tight.”
Muzza candidly expressed that he learned a lot from the formidable match-up of Djokovic and Alcaraz: “I learned a lot from watching, and I, probably something like looking back, wish I had maybe done a little bit more of. It’s not always that easy to do and sit in the stands and watch matches because, well, most of the people in there are tennis fans and it can be distracting. But in the final, like in the times where I got to just sit and watch the match and wasn’t so chatty and everything, I felt like I learned a lot from watching those two”.
Andy Murray confident to make a strong comeback after disappointing Wimbledon campaign
The Wimbledon 2-day epic match against Stephanos Tsitsipas ended with Murray losing all his motivation to get back on the court again. Even though he was dominating the first day, Tsitsipas turned it around and won the match after a five-set thriller. This left the Muzza devastated.
Yet again, Murray’s love for tennis did not let him leave that easy. After this Wimbledon loss, he took his first win against the American professional, Brandon Nakashima in straight sets!
