Andy Murray backed by Rafael Nadal in fitness fight: ‘He has the passion’

Rafael Nadal believes Andy Murray has the ‘passion’ to overcome his injury problems and get back to something like his previous level.

Murray is still trying to work his way back from the serious hip injury that befell him when he was the world number one in 2017.

His attempts to return to an elite level of singles competition with an resurfaced hip is completely unprecedented, and Nadal thinks he has it in him.

“I haven’t spoken much to him lately, and I know he is fighting hard to come back to the top of his level.

“It is never easy after such serious surgery, but the fact that he is fighting and coming back shows his love for the game and his passion for our sport.”

Murray himself recently admitted that he was ready to step up his work-rate in an attempt to give himself the best possible chance to get his career back on track.

“I may never get back to being No 1 in the world, but I want to do everything that I did when I was No 1 in the world to give myself the best chance to see what I can achieve,” Murray said.

“There has definitely been times over the last few years where I lost that [drive and motivation], because of the injuries and stuff like that.

“And I hadn’t been working as hard as what I needed to. I think as you get older obviously there are certain things you can do differently, but you almost need to work harder to stay in shape, spend more time with your physio and afterwards to feel good.”

‘Andy Murray can still compete against the top guys – never write him off,’ warns former coach

Spoiler:

Andy Murray can still compete against the ‘top players’ in tennis says former coach Daniel Vallverdu, who has tipped him for a strong 2021.

Murray has looked a shadow of his former self this year, saying after the US Open that he ‘is ranked 115th in the world and playing like it.’

Earlier this week, though, he admitted he has come to realise he has not been dedicated enough to his fitness this year and vowed to put it right.

And, assuming he can get himself back to the fitness levels he knows he is capable of, Vallverdu believes Murray can rediscover some of the old magic.

“It’s pretty amazing what he’s doing, coming back from the type of injury that he’s had,” Vallverdu told Reuters.

“We’re all very lucky to still be able to have him around and not only in the locker room but to see him compete.”

“As long as he’s able to keep himself fit and I wouldn’t say pain-free but with not so much pain and physically fit, I wouldn’t be surprised if Andy has some very good results next year.

“What they’re going to be is difficult to say but I do believe that he if he manages to keep his body fit, he will be competitive against the top guys and in the big events as well. I would never write him off.”

‘I haven’t been working as hard as what I need to,’ admits a determined Andy Murray

Spoiler:

Andy Murray has vowed to ‘do everything he did when he was world number one’ after admitting his standards had dropped lately.

Murray was on top of the tennis world in 2016, but was then struck by a hip injury that has seen his career cruelly stopped in its tracks.

After major surgery, though, he is back and fighting to salvage whatever he can of his former quality, although he says he has realised he has not been working hard enough to do it.

“There has definitely been times over the last few years where I lost that [drive and motivation], because of the injuries and stuff like that,” Murray candidly told Daniela Hantuchova in an interview for Roland Garros.

“And I hadn’t been working as hard as what I needed to. I think as you get older obviously there are certain things you can do differently, but you almost need to work harder to stay in shape, spend more time with your physio and afterwards to feel good.

“I think just in the last sort of two to three months I actually got on that machine that measures your body fat and it wasn’t good.

“It wasn’t good in comparison to what I’d done when I was younger. It was something as simple as that where I was like ‘come on Andy, you just need to get back…’

“I’d been working fairly hard, but I could have done much better. I could have been eating healthier and sleeping better. I was like ‘come on’.

“I may never get back to being No 1 in the world, but I want to do everything that I did when I was No 1 in the world to give myself the best chance to see what I can achieve.

“I was incredibly professional, I worked hard, I ate properly, slept well. That’s kind of what started the latest kind of mentality.

“Something as small as that, I know I am not very overweight or anything, but I was like ‘No, you should be in better shape’.”

Murray praises Rashford, Osaka for driving social change

Spoiler:

Andy Murray has praised US Open champion Naomi Osaka and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford for their work in driving social change.

Murray spoke in his BBC column on the importance of athletes speaking out and driving change.


"In tennis, we saw Naomi Osaka decide she would not play in her Western and Southern Open semifinal in August." Murray said.

"As an individual athlete you have the opportunity to make that decision not to play yourself. [Osaka] obviously felt extremely strongly about what had happened."

Osaka, 23, announced earlier this year that she wouldn't play in her Western & Southern Open semifinal match in reaction of the shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin.

Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot seven times by police in August. He was shot as he attempted to enter the driver's side door of his vehicle with three of his children inside. Blake survived but was left partly paralyzed.

Throughout her winning run at the US Open, Osaka also wore masks highlighting Black victims of racial injustice and police brutality.

England international Rashford was also praised by the two-time Wimbledon champion after he secured a U-turn from the British government to support his call to provide free meals to vulnerable children during the winter holidays.

"It's something he [Rashford] has experienced himself and is very passionate about. They've raised millions for families of school children on lower incomes -- and that's amazing," Murray said.

"Marcus is a really nice guy and it is such a great thing that he was able to use his voice to bring about change."

Murray also took time to shed some light on his own endeavours, and spoke of his aim to put the spotlight on gender inequalities.

"I've used my platform to speak out during my career," he added. "That is something I will continue to do.

"I experienced sexism in sport when I worked with Amelie Mauresmo and that was when it first came to my attention. Then I noticed it a lot more because maybe I'm looking out for it. Maybe it is not extremely overt, but it is there."

Andy Murray Receives Delray Beach Wild Card

Spoiler:

Murray is the 11th current or former World No. 1 to compete in the event
Former World No. 1 Andy Murray will compete in the 2021 Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com as a wild card, the tournament announced Saturday. The 33-year-old will be the 11th former World No. 1 to play in the event's history.

“I am looking forward to starting the 2021 season in Delray Beach.” Murray said in a press release. “This event will be a good test for me and I’m excited to be back playing on the Tour.”

Murray is set to make his tournament debut in the evening session on 8 January.

This ATP 250 is played on hard court, a surface on which Murray has long enjoyed success. The 46-time tour-level titlist has lifted 34 of his trophies on hard courts, including his past eight triumphs.

The World No. 122, who is still working his way back to top form following 2019 hip surgery, last won a title in the United States at the 2013 Miami Open presented by Itau. He showed signs of good form after the ATP Tour's return this August, when he upset Alexander Zverev at the Western & Southern Open.

The Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com is typically played in February, but it is now in Week One alongside the Antalya Open due to COVID-19. The main draw will be played from 7-13 January.

Former British Number One Andy Murray has confirmed participation at the Delray Beach tennis event next year. The Scot, who has been on the mend from an injury that resurfaced after a hip surgery, missed the bulk of the tennis action this year due to recovery and rehabilitation.


A three-time Grand Slam champion, Murray did make his Major return at the US Open but couldn’t progress beyond the second round.

In a chat with tennis broadcaster and writer Ravi Ubha, Murray confirmed that he will return to action at the beachside event. The Scot said he was excited to be back in play and the event will be a good test of where he currently stands in men’s tennis.


“I am looking forward to starting the 2021 season in Delray Beach. This event will be a good test for me and I’m excited to be back playing on the Tour,” Murray said.

The Scot will be one of 26 players to have confirmed participation in the tournament. He is also the 11th former Number 1-ranked player to be playing the event. The Briton is in the illustrious company of Andre Agassi, Jimmy Conors, Jim Courier, Lleyton Hewitt, Ivan Lendl, Carlos Moya, Pat Rafter, Marcelo Rios, Andy Roddick, and Mats Wilander.

An injury ended Murray’s season prematurely
Murray’s injury absence from the game led more grist to the chatter around his future as a professional tennis player. However, he effectively put all retirement talk to bed after announcing that he had begun his pre-season training.


The Scot revealed concerns around his fitness to reporters in 2019, saying that his hip issue had impaired his mobility on the court.

He went for surgery shortly after and was away from the game a good bit of time. The Scot marked a winning return to action, winning the European Open in Antwerp.

After his tearful press conference where he revealed his injury, it was speculated that the Wimbledon Championship this year could be his swansong event. However, the Grand Slam was canceled amid concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tenis. Andy Murray zrezygnował z gry w Delray Beach. Obawia się zakażenia koronawirusem

Spoiler:

Andy Murray nie weźmie udziału w zawodach ATP Tour 250 w Delray Beach, gdzie rozpocznie się sezon 2021. Brytyjski tenisista chce uniknąć zakażenia koronawirusem SARS-CoV-2, co wykluczyłoby go z gry w Australian Open.

Tenis. ATP zdecydowało ws. Sama Querreya. Kuriozalna kara dla Amerykanina
Brytyjczyk miał być najbardziej utytułowanym uczestnikiem Delray Beach Open 2021. Były lider rankingu ATP otrzymał od organizatorów dziką kartę. Z powodu pandemii COVID-19 zawody przeniesiono z drugiej połowy lutego na 4-13 stycznia, zatem ma być to jedna z dwóch imprez (obok tureckiej Antalyi) inauguracyjnych sezon.
Ale Andy Murray nie przyleci na Florydę i nie weźmie udziału w zawodach. Brytyjczyk obawia się zakażenia koronawirusem SARS-CoV-2, co wykluczyłoby go z gry w Australian Open 2021. - Biorąc pod uwagę wzrost liczby zakażeń na COVID-19 i związane z tym loty transatlantyckie, chcę zminimalizować ryzyko przed Australian Open - powiedział Szkot, cytowany przez BBC.



"Trzęsienie ziemi" w pielęgnacji aut!
Wobec powyższego trzykrotny mistrz wielkoszlemowy nie wybierze się do Delray Beach, ale w połowie stycznia poleci do Melbourne. Tutaj czeka go obowiązkowa dwutygodniowa kwarantanna, zanim będzie mógł przystąpić do rywalizacji. Australian Open 2021 ma zostać rozegrany w dniach 8-21 lutego.

Murray nie jest jedynym tenisistą, który zrezygnował z gry na Florydzie. Wcześniej uczynili to Japończyk Kei Nishikori oraz Brytyjczyk Daniel Evans. Wycofanie się tego drugiego oznacza, że rozstawiony z "czwórką" powinien być Hubert Hurkacz. Tym samym Polak otrzyma w I rundzie wolny los.

Murray Hopes For More Magic

Following injury and the ATP Tour suspension due to COVID-19, Andy Murray made just four appearances on the ATP Tour in 2020. The former World No. 1 recently received a main draw wild card for the Australian Open, which will be held from 8-21 February.

Murray will be making his 14th appearance at the opening Grand Slam event of the year. The 33-year-old has finished as a runner-up at Melbourne Park on five occasions and is tied with Andre Agassi and former coach Ivan Lendl in fifth position on the tournament wins list (48). Murray will look to add to his impressive resume in 2021, which includes 46 titles and 676 wins at tour-level.

Ranking Tenisklubu. Najlepsi tenisiści minionej dekady

4. miejsce – Andy Murray

Pierwszy brytyjski mistrz Wimbledonu od Freda Perry’ego i 1936 roku. Nie wykluczamy, że nawet gdyby Murray zakończył karierę po sezonie 2012, i tak znaleźlibyśmy dla niego miejsce w tym zestawieniu. Osiągnął w nim gigantyczne sukcesy przed własną publicznością, bo przecież niedługo po wspomnianym Wimbledonie wygrał jeszcze Igrzyska Olimpijskie. Niejako na dokładkę dołożył zwycięstwo w US Open. A co się będzie oszczędzał.

Wspominając te wyniki, można zachodzić w głowę, gdzie się wtedy podziali Federer, Nadal i Dżoković. Ale przecież oni byli, grali razem z Murray’em. Po prostu okazywali się słabsi. Murray’a nie możemy porównać obecnie do żadnego tenisisty. Może Thiem… ale to chyba wciąż nie jest ten sam, mistrzowski poziom. Austriak depcze najlepszym po piętach, a Szkot był w tym wszystkim bardziej bezczelny. Skradał im trofea jedno po drugim.

Oczywiście, nie należy się też za mocno rozpędzać. Pamiętamy chociażby finały Australian Open. Murray pięć razy grał w finale, ale na dobrą sprawę ani razu nie był bliski wygrania tej imprezy.

Kiedy Murray dokonał więcej, niż zdawało się, że może, jego kariera zaczęła wygasać przez problemy zdrowotne. Pech chciał, że niedługo po tym, jak zajął upragnioną pozycję lidera rankingu ATP, co było kolejnym ogromnym osiągnięciem.

Dziś nie wiadomo, czy bardziej cenić go za olbrzymie sukcesy na korcie, czy za wolę walki. Murray dokonał bowiem niemożliwego i po operacji biodra wrócił do rywalizacji. Mało tego, wygrał turniej w Antwerpii, co było niezwykle wzruszającym momentem dla niego samego, jak również milionów kibiców.
