Eurosport tennis expert Alex Corretja believes
Andy Murray should enjoy the
Wimbledon experience as it's a gift considering his trajectory.
Two-time champion Murray returned to SW19 last year after a four-year absence having required hip replacement surgery. Murray opted to skip the clay-court season and reunited with his former coach Ivan Lendl in March to prepare for Wimbledon this year.
Murray has said he "still believes" he can win a third Wimbledon title, but Corretja says he should not play with too much pressure and "just have fun". He explained:
"He feels so comfortable. He loves the crowd behind him. He has won there already, so he knows exactly what he needs to do. I was not surprised that he would play well on grass [this season] because he loves the surface and he didn't play too many matches to be burned out. He adapted his calendar to be healthy for the grass-court season. He has played some very good tournaments. He played a final."
Corretja continued:
"For him, it was great because he played so many matches, beating top guys, and he's ready. The question is how he can recover from a very tough match over best of five sets. The pressure for Andy is zero right now. It's just 'go there, have fun'. Probably for the very first time in his career, he can go out there and whatever comes, it's [already] phenomenal. So he just should go there and honestly just have fun because he's in a position where he's done everything."
Corretja finished off with:
"Nobody was expecting anything from him. And from now on, whatever he does, it should be like a nice present. So just go for it, Andy, and just try your best."
