"If it makes him happy he should keep going" says Tomas Berdych on Andy Murray

Andy Murray wowed many with his deep desire to play tennis again and while many doubted his ability to truly come back, Murray was able to prove many wrong by playing pretty strong tennis towards the end of the 2021 season. Murray himself fired back at many critics over the course of the 2021 season especially after calls for his retirement grew louder.

Tomas Berdych knows Murray well as they have played many times against each other. Speaking on Murray he said:

"I know him well. We've played each other throughout my whole career so if this is what makes him happy, satisfied, then he should keep going. That's an advantage of tennis because these kinds of career decisions only really belong to you. Whatever you feel and whatever you want to do, you do it."

Berdych futher added:

"Everybody gets their choice and if he feels good, it's perfect. He knows chasing a Grand Slam title is not possible now, and making more money is not an issue for him, so it's just the pure love of the sport and if he feels the level he's at right now is enough for him then keep on playing, why not? I would probably be playing myself if my hip and lower back problems didn't bother me and I had a solution to it."
