Andy Murray is still following his dreams about come back and after losing the final of Challenger in Biella, he has won an ATP match.
The experienced Scott showed a very good level also against Andrey Rublev and in a recent interview, he gave an update about his physical condition. Andy Murray also says that his main goal for the 2021 season will be the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and he will try to add another medal to his collection.
“I still love playing the game. It’s my biggest motivation. It’s what makes me get up in the morning and keep training hard,” he said.
“It’s all I’ve ever known and I think facing retirement helped me realize how much passion I’ve still got to keep going. I knew I just wasn’t ready to give up. Physically, I’m feeling good. My hip isn’t giving me any pain anymore and I’m happy with how I’m moving on court,” he said.
“I trained really hard in the run up to Biella so I’m the fittest I’ve felt for a long time. I’m keen to play as many matches as possible at the moment, as match practice is what I’m lacking most right now.
“Most athletes have niggles and aches and pains all the time, but compared to what I went through in 2018 I’m doing pretty well. I’m also much better at recognising when I need to rest and recuperate these days, so building that into my routine has helped.”
“This year, my main focus is the Olympics,” the 33-year-old said. “I’m very proud of my gold medals, so it would be great to get the opportunity to defend those. I’m training hard to be in Tokyo for whatever format the Games ends up taking.”
