Continuing his analysis of Murray’s current situation, McEnroe added, “He thinks he can get one big run or a big chance. Maybe playing Novak or Rafa in the semis of a Major. He’s been in 11 Grand Slam finals, Andy Murray. At the end of my career, it was hard to accept you weren’t the player you once were. Deep down, I think he thinks that he can still do it.” Now that the tennis star has made a statement himself, it still remains to be seen how long he sticks to the game.
