Andy Murray on Federer’s greatness and match intensity

Andy Murray, the 3 time Grand Slam champion, spoke in an interview about Roger Federer. He stated the kind of player Federer is and the impact he has had on this beautiful sport. “And yeah, it’s a sad, sad day. You know, the way that he played the game, conducted himself, and all of those things was I think all of the players respected him for that.” said the 35-year-old.

He further went on to say that “Speaking more on it, I’m sure in the coming with Laver cup, I don’t know how much he will be able to play. I haven’t spoken to him about that.
