Andy Murray, in his earlier days, was known as one of the fastest players on the tour. He is now known as one of the players with the most powerful mind. Murray’s transition from being a well-built player has now become a well-balanced player. He has been playing with a metal hip since 2019 and still invests all his emotions in every match.
Murray lost to Alex De Minaur in the opening round of the Paris Masters. He lost multiple chances in the match. The former world No.1 even broke his racket in frustration. Tennis presenter Alize Lim felt that the sport was crucial for the player. Lim said that he was in the mixed zone, ready to conduct the winner’s interview. At that moment, he saw Murray pass by which made him upset.
