Former World No. 1 Andy Murray got off to a brilliant start at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. He recently won his second-round match against Oscar Otte at the Grand Slam and played some really amazing tennis, especially in the last set.

A lot of tennis legends and athletes are praising Andy Murray for his phenomenal show at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. One of them is the captain of the Everton Football Club, Seamus Coleman. He revealed that he watched Murray’s comeback documentary, and that inspired him as well.

Coleman highlighted that Murray has been playing some really incredible tennis at Wimbledon. He also stated that one can still see the desire to succeed in him.
