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.

“To see him back doing what he is doing is incredible. I watched the documentary on him when he was trying to come back from his hip problem and it was brilliant. The financial need is not there for him to do what he does, but he still has that desire and that passion to play his sport and try to get back to the top,” said Coleman in a recent interview.

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.

“Seeing what he has been doing at Wimbledon this week has been amazing. That drive and will to be a successful sportsperson, you can see that in him,” added the captain of the Irish football team.

They don’t lack for anything financially and yet they still have that competitive spirit and desire to win,” concluded Coleman.
