Andy Murray can win Queen's doubles title, says Rusedski
In an interview to Express, the former world No. 4 Greg Rusedski commented on the Andy Murray's comeback to the competition. The British player competed in Queen's doubles draw. Rusedski said: "I think Murray can win the title. I think he can go all the way. They beat the No 1 seeds. They were exceptionally impressive as a combination, righty-lefty combinations. The only thing that could stop them is his brother Jamie with his partner [Neal] Skupski. Andy never likes playing against his brother because they have the history together and it is always difficult to beat a family member as well. That is also Jamie's forte having been a No 1 [in the doubles rankings]."
Rusedski added: "He deserves that sort applause and comeback for everything he has accomplished in his career. Double Olympic gold medalist, winning in London, two-time Wimbledon champion, three-time Grand Slam champion, world No 1, Davis Cup winner. The resume goes on and on and on. I am glad he gets the love and appreciation that he deserves."
Murray said: "I have been practicing quite a lot and playing a lot of points. A lot of the doubles points, to me, they feel quite similar a lot of the time. There is not too many long rallies, but the movements you make are kind of similar. So I feel like I pushed myself well enough in practice to, you know, to know that when I went on the court I was going to be okay. But, you know, it's just at that time of night on that court it's sometimes a little bit slippy, so sometimes when I moved outside of the doubles alley, I felt a little bit uncomfortable, but not really."
