"I want that fairytale scenario" says Andy Murray on 2022

Andy Murray lost in today's Mubadala World Tennis Championship final to Andrey Rublev but the Brit is fired up for 2022.

It's been a very good stay in Abu Dhabi for Murray who played some very good tennis to reach the final of the exhibition event. In the final he faced a red-hot Andrey Rublev putting up a great effort but ultimately falling up short. Even so, there is a lot to be excited about in terms of Murray and his tennis and he revealed that he wants as much as he can get in 2022:

“I just want to get the most out of what I can, whilst I'm still able to do it. I've spoken to many ex-players that have said, ‘When it's gone, nothing will replace it. So enjoy it whilst you're able to, play as long as you can’. Because I know a lot of players have stopped and kind of regret it when they could have kept going.”

Murray further added that his motivation comes from the love for tennis as well as a deep wanting to prove his doubters wrong:

“Lots of people said to me, ‘Stop mentioning it, stop talking about metal hip’. And I'm like, ‘Why? It's relevant’. The fact that I'm able to still do this, and compete with the best players in the world with a metal hip, I'm proud that I'm able to do that and I think there's very few people that would be able to compete (like that). I've had lots of people come up to me and say, ‘It's inspirational that you keep trying, you keep fighting and you keep going’, and I guess that's something that I would, probably when I finished playing, be remembered for.”
