Andy Murray and Caroline Garcia
In a rather interesting turn of events, an 11-year-old tweet from none other than Andy Murray, where he predicted that Carolina Garcia would become World No. 1 one day has re-emerged on Twitter.
To put it simply, the Former World No.1 in 2011 made a prophecy after the match that was played between Caroline Garcia and the notorious Maria Sharapova. Although Maria won that match and ran riot to defeat the 17-year-old Garcia, her efforts and determination throughout the head-on clash did not go unnoticed in the world of tennis. And that’s precisely what Andy Murray pointed out in his tweet to show just how impressed he was with her impeccable performance.
Fast forward to 11 years, now that the French tennis sensation has finally bagged her first-ever WTA Finals title, the post that was made 11 years ago has gone viral on major social media platforms. Several fans, followers, and prominent personalities can be seen in the reply section, congratulating Garcia for her incredible feat and an impressive journey.
“The girl sharapova is playing is going to be number one in the world one day caroline garcia, what a player u heard it here first” his caption read.
With this win, Caroline Garcia is now ranked No.4 behind Iga Swiatek, Ons Jabeur, and Jessica Pegula. This may be the first big title of her career, but surely not the last. It is possible that next year, the 29-year-old can win a Grand Slam and topple Iga Swiatek from her World No.1 rank.
Twitter goes berserk over Andy Murray’s 11-years old post
For those uninitiated, Andy Murray is one of those players who has got tons of experience and success playing tennis for over 17 years. He has won three Grand Slam singles titles and 2 Olympic Games gold medals throughout his professional career. He is considered to be an expert in his field of talent and has used his experience to help up-and-coming players as they take their first steps into professional tennis. Often dubbed the ‘Face of British tennis‘, Murray is one of the most loved personalities in the tennis community. Hence, such glorious comments coming from him must have been a great feeling for Caroline Garcia.
As soon as the tweet resurfaced again, Twitter users chimed in to provide their take on Garcia’s incredible journey. The tennis star has now jumped 179 ranks to be ranked No. 9 in singles and No. 29 in doubles, following an extremely impressive run. Judging by the replies, while the majority of the users celebrated her recent victory, a few even appreciated her for maintaining an excellent form throughout 2022.
Meanwhile, Social media users are relishing the post. Sharing a wide spectrum of positive reactions, here’s what fans had to say:
"Who had the patience to reassemble Andy Murray's TL to 2011?!" the caption above translated in English through Google Translate.
Andy Murray is in the twilight of his career. His contemporaries have either retired or are in the last legs of their career. Roger Federer retired this year. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are still playing, but they too must be contemplating their retirement.
However, at the time of writing, the British legend has no plans of retiring soon. He wants to enjoy every bit he plays. He had a decent ATP tour this year as he played against some of the most wonderfully talented players and prevailed over them.
