"He must truly love the game" says Andrew Castle on Andy Murray

Former British number one Andrew Castle paid respect to Andy Murray and what he continues to do in tennis noting his undeniable love for the game.

While some might question why the three-time Slam champion would push through so many tough injury battles in the past few years, former British number one Castle appreciates Murray’s drive. The former British number one was asked about Murray as Andy broke back into the top 100 for the first time since 2018.

He said:

“He doesn’t want to give up and I completely understand that. If you don’t love the game, forget about it. So he must love the game. He loves winning, competing, trying his best in training. You have to love all aspects of it.”

Aasked what he believes drives Murray beyong his competitive spirit, Castle was unsure:

“With Andy, I don’t know what the driving force is, but you are never going to be able to go back and do this again, so it is a mature attitude to stay with it. He can still conduct his other business activities and build other areas of his life and still do this. Let’s be honest, 34 is not old and his body can keep going it seems.”
