‘Still want to keep playing, I just don’t enjoy it’: Andy Murray


‘Still want to keep playing, I just don’t enjoy it’: Andy Murray

Andy Murray

Over the last two decades, Andy Murray is the only player who has challenged the Big 3 of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. He solidified his position amongst the best and also achieved the No.1 ranking.

The three time grand slam champion has been struggling from hip injuries for the last 3 years. Ever since his comeback, Murray has been finding himself struggling even to put socks on, he endured a second, more invasive hip resurfacing procedure. Recently in an interview, Murray shares his version on how tough things have been for him.

“Once I had the metal hip I knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” Murray said. “There’s just — at times, I didn’t expect it to be quite like this. It’s either do it or stop playing, and I still want to keep playing. I just don’t enjoy it as much as maybe I did a few years ago.”

In the same interview, Murray also spoke about misogyny in the tennis world. He shared an incident related to former coach and and former World No.1 Amélie Mauresmo.

He said: “When I started working with a female coach [Amélie Mauresmo], that was when I realised there was a problem and I was like, ‘Wow’, you know she’s been number one in the world? You cannot be more successful than that. I felt she was being unfairly judged in the media and purely because she was a woman.”

“I just want everyone, so men and women, to be treated the same. I don’t think that’s radical, I just think it should be a human right.”

No one knows what the future holds for Murray. Home fans expect him to make a strong comeback at Wimbledon once more. Whether that happens or not, only time will tell but for sure, Andy Murray will have a golden page reserved for him in the history books.
