"Should have finished sooner" says Murray on Wimbledon return victory

Andy Murray won his first match at Wimbledon since 2017 but the Brit threw away the 3rd set which did not leave him satisfied.
It's been a fantastic return for Murray at Wimbledon as the Brit took down Nikoloz Basilashvili in four sets. Murray played a very good match absorbing the power of Basilashvili well and forcing him to make mistakes. Murray however threw away a 5-0 lead to lose the 3rd set 5-7. On that he said:
"I definitely should have finished it up a lot sooner than what I did. [But] I don't think there are that many players that would have won that fourth set."
Asked about his tennis he gave this assesment:
"I think I played well up until probably 5-3 in the third set. That's never happened to me before in my career, being three breaks, a serve up and two sets to love up. Never had that happen before. But [those are] the sorts of things that can happen when you haven't played any matches. Things can get away from you a little bit quick."
Murray once again reiterated his desire to play tennis and this victory just deepened those thoughts:
“I keep being asked if this is my last Wimbledon or last match. No. I want to play. I am enjoying it and I still can play at the highest level. He is ranked 28 in the world and I have hardly played any matches and I beat him. I will keep going.”
