Although Rafael Nadal has praised Andy Murray as a “amazing player,” Murray was ultimately a victim of the tennis era in which he came of age. During the height of their careers, Murray and Nadal shared the court with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic; the latter three have dominated the Grand Slam scene for the past 20 years. The Scot is the owner of three such titles.
Rafael Nadal has hailed Andy Murray as the closest to “the same level” of tennis’ big three of the last two decades, as the British star gears up for what is expected to be his final French Open.
Murray is on the comeback trail after another year full of injuries, making his return at the Geneva Open later this month. He is widely expected to have one more appearance at both Wimbledon and the US Open before calling time on his career.
He has won two Grand Slam titles: the first in 2012, in New York City, and the second on home soil in 2013 and 2016. Any other generation would look back on that career return with much more fondness, along with over £50 million in prize money.
