“We raised money for good causes” - Murray shows importance of Virtual Madrid Open

The past months have been pretty difficult for Murray as he was still struggling with injury. When he was ready to come back on the court again, the ATP extended tour suspension and therefore there was no competitive tennis. When Madrid Open came with an initiative to create a virtual tournament, Andy grasped his chance. Murray outplayed all of his opponents at the Virtual Madrid Open to become the champion.

“We raised a lot of money for some good causes,” said Murray. “It was nice, personally, to spend a little bit of time chatting to some of the players. [It is] something that I have missed during this period and something that I have been used to for the past 12, 14 years of my life… It was something I have never done before. Thanks to everyone who put the event on.”

“He had a few more options, but my serve was probably the biggest difference,” said Murray about the final match. “I came up with some big serves."

”I am going to practise [my Spanish]. There is no excuse for me during this period where I have got a lot of time at home and not much else happening in my life to not try and learn a little bit more Spanish, so that I am confident enough to speak publicly in the language,” said Murray.

“Next year, when I come to the tournament and I get presented with the trophy, I will do my speech in Spanish. That’s the commitment I am going to make.”
