Nicolas Almagro feels Andy Murray will struggle to get back to his best
Former Top-10 player Nicolas Almagro knows what it is like to come back from injury. The Spaniard recently spoke about Andy Murray, saying that his return to the top will be a tricky one. “I think he is not going to be 100 per-cent again and he will know that,” Almagro said.
He further added, “I was speaking with his brother Jamie a few weeks ago and I asked him why Andy was trying to do this comeback because it is not easy after hip surgery. He told me the pain has gone and he wants to try one more time, but it will be difficult. Jamie said he knows he won’t be the same, but he feels good and wants to try.
“I wish him success, but will he be top ten or top five like he was before? I think it will be tough to get there. Maybe he believes he can do it and who knows what is possible for a player who has such drive and passion.”
“Right now, he is in a position to enjoy tennis. All the time in his life, the target has been to win, to win, to be top of the rankings. When he had pain, he had to run through it because he had the goal to be No.1 and to win Grand Slams. Now it is different and maybe he will be happy to enjoy being pain-free on the court.”
“He was out, his career was over and suddenly he is free to enjoy tennis again. We don’t know how far he can take this, but it will be fun watching him.”
