No regrets for Andy Murray in Roger Federer, Nadal, Djokovic era - Pat Cash
The 1987 Wimbledon champion Pat Cash believes that Andy Murray does not need to have a lot of regrets on his career. The Brit won three Grand Slam titles in his career, which is less if we compare them with the 51 Majors combined conquered by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray. In an interview to Express, Cash said: "With a bit more luck he’d could have grabbed a few more Grand Slams but he’s [Murray] a warrior, an unbelievable athlete. Andy’s career has been phenomenal, there’s no way around it. To have won a couple of Wimbledon’s, the US Open, double Olympic champion and the Davis Cup for his nation – it really doesn’t get any better than that. And of course, the two tournaments he didn’t win, he was in the final of. He really couldn’t have done much more in a career, in an era that was extremely tough. Federer and Nadal have been big rivals throughout their career. We’ve got three of the all-time greatest players in Nadal, Federer and Djokovic and there is Andy playing against them.”
On Murray's injury that influenced him since 2017, Cash added: "I’m not surprised that Andy is struggling with the hip. I’ve got bad hips and a bad back and only have to play three hours a week – he has to play three-four hours a day. It’s a really big ask to come back from an injury like this. I think he’s an incredible champion and he’ll fight on but for him to play with pain doesn’t make much sense. Let’s hope he gets through the tournament. He deserves to finish at Wimbledon and that’s what he wants to do – and with a bit of luck he’ll be able to do that."
