Andy Murray discusses how to be Great Player

According to Andy Murray, for a tennis player to come through the ranks and build a successful career at the topmost level, a huge amount of effort goes into it and it applies to all the players irrespective of the gender.


It’s not that if somebody is a female, she will have an easier route to success. She also has to spend plenty of time practicing and training to keep her fitness intact and to be in proper shape to win games, she also has to go long distances to take part in tournaments and has to remain away from her family all that while, she also has to deal with the pressure of expectations. So basically a female player also goes the same route as a male player and has to do the same things which a male player does to achieve great heights in the game. Then why do people see players of different genders in different lights? Read more »

Mischa Zverev on Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic Injury

Mischa Zverev believes the reason why two of the iconic figures of the modern day male Tennis Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic have had to deal with injuries of late is because of the huge amount of time that they have spent on the court in their careers.


Zverev is also of the same age group as Murray and Djokovic, but he hasn’t had as many fitness problems in the recent times as those two and he reckons that’s because he hasn’t featured in as many matches as those two.

As per Zverev, Murray and Djokovic started coming through the ranks from a very small age and made their place amongst the top players in the world very early and since then they have managed to remain amongst the top which means they have made it to the last rounds of most of the competitions that they have featured in. So the number of matches that they have played over a period of time has been incredibly high. Read more »

WHO NEEDS THE FRENCH OPEN MORE: MURRAY OR DJOKOVIC

Since becoming the World No. 1 Andy Murray is yet to lift a major title. With him being the No. 1 seed, expectations would be higher.


Since 2008, Murray has not lost before the last eight in back to back quarter finals so he has to get his act together in Paris for the tournament in the last week in May. After crashing out early in Australia – in the fourth round to MischaZverev – he would need a good turn out this time around.

Novak Djokovic has left everything in doubts with his recent tennis. As the defending champion and as someone who did a career Grand Slam last year, he needs to prove a point. His world No. 2 status is also at stake with him posting loss after loss this year. Unlike Murray, in over a decade he has not lost in back to back quarter finals at majors. After his slump against Denis Istomin in the Australian Open and his recent one at Monte Carlo, Djokovic desperately needs to save face. Read more »

He said that it was just what people lived with; it was the culture of the time. There’s no way he could name names now.
