Ahead of the dubai duty free tennis championship, what’s on speaks to the biggest name in the sport right now – World no 1 Andy Murray.
Do you remember the first time you picked up a racket?
I remember me and my brother playing a lot of games around the home that involved hitting things with various objects. We used to play a game where we had to hit a balloon across the room with biscuit tin lids. I think my parents soon realised me and Jamie had a pretty good eye for ball sports, and it wasn’t long before they started taking us down to the local tennis courts. I think we were probably three or four at that stage. It didn’t take us long to pick up the basics.
Are you addicted to playing tennis or could you give it up tomorrow?
I wouldn’t say I’m addicted, but I love my job. I’m in a very fortunate position and I never like to take that for granted. I don’t think I’ll ever choose to give up tennis, I would love to play it for as long as my body will let me, which is hopefully for a quite a few years yet.
