The pre-match warmup has always been a customary routine and tradition for every player, both on the ATP and WTA Tour. Most of the players usually take up to 20 minutes before the matches, to stretch out their muscles. However, there are some names in the tennis community who haven’t been impressed by the warmup tradition. Andy Murray, the British tennis star, has recently made a surprising revelation about his opinion on the customary pre-match routine.

The 35-year-old ATP player is apparently frustrated with the idea of the four-minute warmup. Speaking of it, the former world no.1 recently revealed how he wants to get rid of the pre-match tradition.
