Old rivals clash- Andy on Rafael Nadal
Former world No.1 Andy Murray feels that it will be a golden ‘opportunity’ for him to face Rafael Nadal at the Mubadala Tennis Championships 2021. Both players will face each other in the semi-finals of the competition.
“I mean, I don’t know, you know if I was going to get an opportunity to play matches like that again. Rafa is someone I had some great battles with at some of the biggest tournaments in the world. We played here a few times as well. Yeah, he has obviously had his injury troubles as well last year I saw,” Murray said in the interview.
Murray also said that he is similar to Nadal as both of them have been struggling with injuries. While Murray missed most of the 2020 tennis season due to a recurring hip injury, Nadal recently recovered from his foot injury.
“Yeah, it will be great to get an opportunity to play against him again. It will be a lot of fun and hopefully, we can put on a good performance for a couple of old guys.
