Djokovic hopes for further success for Murray after European Open triumph: 'I hope that he can be in contention for top spot'

Djokovic said this is due to the legacy which he has given to the sport and that seeing the adversities he has had to go through means that it is even better to see him back in the winners' circle.

"I hope that he can be in contention for the top spot because tennis would profit from that and benefit.

Because we know how big of a legacy he left behind and he is still creating for himself", said Djokovic. "So knowing what he has been through in the last three years, it was really nice to see him win a title after a long time.

And only he knows the adversities that he had to face physically but also mentally. I know the discipline and the ethics that he has and how hardworking he is, so he definitely deserves it. And I would definitely wish him all the best."
