He further added, “I don’t feel that the game has moved on and I won’t be able to get back. A lot of the same guys are still there.”
Andy Murray then said that he doesn’t have a reason, why he cannot compete again at the top and if there is, he would certainly like to listen to it He continued, “If someone can give me a reason why I shouldn’t be able to compete again, then I would listen to it, but so far I haven’t really been given one.”
