Andy Murray was asked how he would like to be remembered, ‘Regardless of the highs & lows the sport threw at me, I always gave my best effort’
“How would you like to be remembered?”
Andy: “I find that quite difficult to answer. I don’t think it’s for me to say how other people should view me. There are things in my career I’m really proud of. I didn’t get everything right in my career. I was far from perfect. But I did a really good job during my career regardless of the highs and lows. Whether it’s winning tournaments or having tough losses or an having an operation... I always came into work with the same dedication and passion as the day before. Regardless of the highs and lows the sport has thrown at me. I always came into work and put in a good day. I gave my best effort. That’s what I’m proud of. I guess it’s for other people to decide what my legacy would be. That’s what I’m most proud of.” 🥹

Stan Wawrinka says ‘we are lucky to be tennis players’:
“The emotion I get from tennis like today playing on Court 17 full of people, playing a top 30 player, & still winning is something special. I know the day that I stop, I won’t find those emotions anywhere. I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I think it’s an amazing life. We are lucky to be tennis players. It doesn’t matter what your age. If your passionate about something, you shouldn’t stop.” 🥹

I’ve had the chance to talk to Severin Lüthi about @rogerfederer. A few excerpts. About the decision to retire: «He just did not make enough progress. He's 41, been on the tour for so long, he's played over 1500 matches. His retirement is a combination of these factors.» (1/8)

Nadal: "One of the keys to me still playing tennis today is that I tolerated success and failure in the same way. Nothing is so fantastic and nothing is so terrible. There are good and bad times. Emotionally, you have to mantain a middle line." 👏
"I hope my son, if he has a hundredth the success as Roger has even one day of his life, is as gracious as Roger is."
