Murray has not won as many Grand Slam titles as the big three but he has certainly left his mark in the game. Taking note of Andy’s significance, Forget stated, “We talk about Rafa, Roger, and Novak. Of course, they won the majority of Grand Slams but Andy was right behind them on their tail. You know, Andy’s won a few. He won the Davis Cup, he’s been Number One in the world.

Forget feels the Scot player has found a new level of form in recent days. After managing to knock off a top 10 player last week, Andy is heading in the right direction. Therefore, to have him in Paris will be a good story.
The Frenchman added, “He not only won an ATP event and he’s beaten a top 10 player. He seems like a junior again when you saw his attitude and the way he handled the matches. He’s unbelievable and I think it is a nice story to write here in the Masters 1000 in Paris. So good luck Andy and we are very happy to have you here.”
