Novak Djokovic pays tribute to Andy Murray on social media
In a post shared through his official Instagram account, Novak Djokovic paid a great tribute to Andy Murray who announced his retirement from tennis.
Djokovic wrote: "Tarbes, France 2001, “Les Petite As". The first time we met and played. Something was telling me back then that we’d have an amazing rivalry and experience of playing each other on the biggest stage for many years to come. What you are trying to do is nothing short of brave and inspiring. I met with you the other day and couldn’t really verbalize my compassion for what you’re going through. As an athlete, fellow tennis player and friend, I respect and fully support you every second of this Australian Open and every next attempt to compete at the highest level. Whatever happens, I will always cherish our amazing matches over the years and be grateful for those experiences. Big hug Andy, stay strong."
On Murray, the former world No. 1 doubles player Todd Woodbridge said: 'The saddest part about a sportsperson’s end is you want to end on your own terms. You don’t want the media pushing you out saying you’re done and you also don’t want your body to not allow you to finish when it’s your choice to finish. It’s an unfortunate way to go out but when he looks back I think it’s been a phenomenal career."
