After returning to his famous hip operation during his appearance in front of the press before his entry into the running for the ATP 500 in Washington, Andy Murray (44th), during an interview with theATPspoke of his surprise at still being able to compete with the best players in the world.
And if losing to Tsitsipas in five sets in the second round of Wimbledon still leaves a bitter taste in his mouth, the Briton intends to rely on the positive aspects of his game to prolong his fabulous career as long as possible.
“I’m sometimes surprised how well I manage to compete with the best players in the world, because I know how difficult it is for me physically now. My game is still able to compete with the best players, it’s true, and that surprises me. It’s also difficult because at the end of the day, I would say that in certain events or at certain times of the year, it is easier not to ignore the results, but they should not be given too much importance . But obviously when you play in the major competitions, they are the benchmarks and at Wimbledon, it’s really not like I played a very bad match against Tsitsipas. When I think about this tournament, I’m disappointed with the result, but there are always positive signs for me, signs that tell me that I can still compete and win against the best players in the world, even if I lost this game. If I had taken 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 and played terrible, at the stage of my career, maybe I would start to look at things a little differently. »
