Nothing will replace it.’ You know, some, obviously, have, some have regretted maybe stopping a little bit too soon. Yeah, I still feel like I can compete at the highest level. It’s not easy, obviously, physically very challenging for me. But, winning matches like that is obviously very satisfying,” Murray said in the interview.
