Andy Murray warmed up with Frances Tiafoe at the Ukraine charity event in Melbourne and he reacted positively at the prospect of playing doubles with Tiafoe.
Andy Murray has played doubles in his career and he's pretty good at it. He would also like play to play doubles tennis with Frances Tiafoe but it's not going to happen at the moment because his goals are tied to singles tennis and playing both would be too taxing at the moment. He explained it:
"No, I will do it. It is just difficult for me now to play any doubles. I have not played any doubles on tour since, like....it feels like, well, when I came back from my operation, I played some, but whilst I am playing singles, I haven't done both. Because, physically, you know singles is hard enough for me, but yeah I mean maybe we can do it. Maybe we can do it one time."
And added:
"I am sure we will find an appropriate time for both of us. I get on really well with him. He is, you know, a great guy. I think he is brilliant for tennis, hope he has a great year."
Tiafoe wants it as well, commenting:
"Much love British goat @andymurray. Let's get out there one time."
