Former world number one Andy Murray is one of the most beloved and appreciated tennis players on the circuit. The British tennis player has won a lot, but there are many who think that the achievements and records of his career have been held back by the big three.
Murray played in the same era as Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, the three most successful tennis players in tennis history. However, Murray has won so much and cultivated such a passion for the sport that he now plays with a metal hip.
The British tennis player returned to court this week at the Newport ATP tournament, winning a clear 6-2, 6-0 over Sam Querrey. The tennis player is trying to win the 47th tournament of his career and thus starts at the Newport ATP 250.
The British tennis player made the following statements: “It’s really important and exciting for me to play this tournament again, I haven’t been here since 2006. Many things have changed in my life, but the feeling of being in a historical place for our sport has never changed.
I love diving into the history of tennis, God knows how much my love for the sport has grown.” Murray is one step away from the Top 50 and went on to clarify his goals for the final phase of the season: “I am aware that I am in the final phase of my career and that is why every time I go out on the track I always give it my all.
I am very motivated and I want to give everything for the sport. My goal is to move up the rankings and be among the top seeds at the next US Open.” Finally, Andy spoke of living in the same era as the big three: “I’m very happy with my career, I’ve achieved things I’ve never I would have imagined and I have won some incredible titles, but at the same time I have had to play in the era of the big three.”
Coello praises Rafa Nadal
Arturo Coello, one of the world’s most promising padel players, has showered praise over compatriot Rafael Nadal by calling him the “best sportsman in history.” “He is the best sportsman in history and obviously the best tennis player in the world, at least for me he is like that,” Coello said.
“Being here is an honor, a privilege. When I see Rafa playing, I am inspired by his values and his resilience. Being able to stay here, where he has won everything, is a unique privilege.”
