"Medvedev, Kyrgios, Monfils" says Andy Murray and favourite players to watch

Andy Murray made a winning return at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati defeating Richard Gasquet 6-4 6-4.

After the match, Murray sat down with ATP to discuss some topics. Firstly the British player was asked whether winning such a match ever gets old and he said:

No, [it does] not really. It’s something I’ve missed,” Murray said. “Obviously great to be back here playing again and playing at that level was really nice. I was really happy with it.”

After that Murray was asked by ATP what players he enjoys watching currently. His response:

"I like watching [Corentin] Moutet. I like watching [Gael] Monfils. I like watching [Nick] Kyrgios when he’s into it. When he’s not into it, I don’t enjoy that at all. But when he’s into it, I really enjoy watching him."

Murray further added:

"Some of the youngsters now, the young, young ones, are really fun to watch. I like watching [Daniil] Medvedev as well. I think he’s a very interesting player who has got lots of variety and has an awkward-looking game."

To conclude Murray was asked which current player he can see reach No. 1 one day and he said:

"Of the current ones Medvedev would be the guy I would expect to get there first. I think maybe he will need to be a little bit more consistent on the clay to get there, but I think he’s got a good chance. From the young, young ones, I think [Carlos] Alcaraz is really, really good. I think he’s got a good chance at it. I would probably say Alcaraz if I had to pick one from the young guys."
