There is life in the old dog yet as the saying goes as Andy Murray didn't need five hours to defeat David Goffin and also shunned all the doubters who see his future in a retirement home instead of on the court at Indian Wells.
Murray has semi-confirmed that retirement is imminent saying that he doesn't see himself playing much post-Summer. He won 6-3, 6-2 though and faces Andrey Rublev. But if he remains watching tennis post his own career, there are three players he likes in particular.
Quizzed on the Tennis Channel after defeating Goffin, he lauded Carlos Alcaraz, Gael Monfils and Iga Swiatek in particular for different reasons. The latter even took time to respond and thank the multiple Grand Slam champion for his kind words.
“I love watching Alcaraz because of the way he plays the game. He has so much variety & power & he tries stuff. He doesn’t always get it right," he said on Tennis Channel.
"He makes mistakes and that’s also something I enjoy watching. You never know what’s gonna come next. I’ve always enjoyed watching Monfils as well. I love watching Iga. I think she’s brilliant to watch… she’s my favorite player to watch on the women’s side.”
"You are an inspiration @andy_murray
Thank you," replied Swiatek to the video on X showing her appreciation towards the former World No.1.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
