Andy Murray 'would have won 10 majors' if not for Big Three says Mats Wilander

Andy Murray is one of the greatest fighters of all time and would've won more if it wasn't for the Big Three believes Mats Wilander amid his most recent injury battle.

Murray went down with an ankle ligament injury at the 2024 Miami Open playing some of his best tennis in many a year and now his dream Wimbledon ending which likely would've been mooted goes up in smoke.

But Wilander in an extended chat to Eurosport about him likely retiring at the Olympics sees him as a real fighter and battler amid this recent struggle. Others including Martina Navratilova don't see him returning at all owing to the severity of such an injury.

“A lot of people have, I think, misunderstood Andy Murray over the years,” Wilander said to Eurosport. “But when you see him in Miami after doing that to his ankle, suddenly, they might realise Andy Murray is one of the greatest fighters of all time, one the greatest competitors of all time.

“He would have won 10 majors if he didn't play at the same time as the big three. Again, it's just Andy Murray. He's an unbelievable fighter. He's got so much knowledge, so much experience, but he still looks at tennis like a kid, like when he was 14 years old.”

“He's a fighter. He's warrior out there, and I think he finds it challenging to try and finish the match, even though his ankle might be a bit sore.”
