"Could increase motivation. I don't know" - Murray discusses effect of Nadal becoming a father

According to reports in Spain a few days ago, Nadal became a father for the first time in his career and fellow father Murray discussed what it could mean.

Andy Murray is a father of four and he knows really well how fatherhood can affect a player. Obviously, every player is an individual and they all handle it differently and that's how Murray went about the response:

"I think he (Rafael Nadal) and his partner had their first kid a few days ago so it will be interesting to see whether that increases the motivation levels or whether he reduces the amount he is competing now, I don't know."

The Brit did touch upon Nadal's amazing year:

"I think the Australian Open for him was an incredible event. Coming back from [injury], he hadn't competed for quite a long time and the way he won the tournament. He had a lot of tough matches along the way, he could have lost a couple of them, really. In the final he was down two sets, 3-2 and love-40 [in the third] and managed to turn that match around."
