MY BODY IS OLD BUT I LOVE TO COMPETE

Veteran Murray 'pumped' for start of another year

- Neil McLeman

ANDY MURRAY says he still loves tennis and is "pumped" to be back Down Under for the start of a new season.

British No.1s Cameron Norrie, Katie Boulter, and Neal Skupski will play in Great Britain's opening United Cup tie against Australia in Perth today.

Rafa Nadal and Naomi Osaka will also make their long-awaited returns at Brisbane International this weekend, while Raducanu Emma will be competing in Auckland.

Murray feared his career was over after the 2019 Open, Australian, and admitted he was "not really after enjoying" his tennis ending last season with a painful loss in Paris.
