“If he wants 55 wildcards, give them to him”: Rennae Stubbs on criticism surrounding wildcards for Murray

Rennae Stubbs fired back at the criticism aimed at Andy Murray for him getting wild cards over and over pointing out that he deserves every single one of them.

Murray is the player who received the most wild cards in recent years and most of it had to do with his injury that prevented him from playing and keeping his ranking. He got plenty of chances to play at the biggest events, even when he didn't play all too well. Every single one was criticised and Stubbs doesn't like it.

She explained it on the example of his recent Doha run:

"Enjoy the ride people, enjoy the ride. You know, one of the great things about him getting to the final was like, all these people that complain about ‘why does he get a wildcard?’ I'm like, because of that."

And added:

"Because that is the entertainment factor you get with Andy Murray. You know he's never going to give up, you know he's going to give you everything, you know he's going to fight till the end and he wants to win."

And concluded with:

"He's one of the great players we've had over the last two decades. So if he wants 55 wildcards, give them to him. That's as far as I'm concerned."
