The former World No.1, Andy Murray, is not a new name in tennis. But, following his biggest season in 2016, the British player has been out of the Top 100 due to injuries.

In a podcast conversation with France’s Gael Monfils, the 33-year-old answered a fan question, detailing next year’s expectations.

Andy is the only player with 2 Olympic Gold Medals in tennis singles; he also has 3 Grand Slams. In 2016, he won at Wimbledon, Rio Olympics, 3 Masters 1000 events, ATP Finals, and two ATP 500 events.
