Murray answered in such a way as if he didn’t want to be a part of any future trouble or controversy. He knew that whoever he would pick as the answer for the ‘avoid’ question, the fans of that particular player would not accept it readily. He might face a backlash later. Hence, he acted smartly.

All of them have been inspirations to many people. Murray certainly didn’t want to insult anyone. After thinking a lot, he finally comes up with an answer. But, he took a step back and decided not to ‘avoid’ anyone.
“I would marry Roger and then I would have to snog the other two (Djokovic and Nadal). I know it’s a cop-out but I’m not avoiding anyone,” Murray told pridelife.
Scrutinizing the statement, one can easily conclude that he would have avoided either Nadal or Djokovic. But Murray opted to avoid the ‘avoid’ part of the question and answered it very strategically.
