The inclined observer of the tennis scene is almost startled when he or she does not see Andy Murray across from Gael Monfils . No, there are other interlocutors to whom Sir Andrew pours his heart out. And with Daniela Hantuchova he is in good hands. After all, the active days of the Czech woman weren't that long ago.
Murray winters as number 122 in the ATP world rankings, in 2020 he only started playing after the corona interruption. Initially with success, in Cincinnati / New York he defeated Alexander Zverev in round two. But then it was over against Milos Raonic , as well as in the second match of the US Open against Félix Auger-Aliassime . Only two more appearances should follow: the defeats against Stan Wawrinka in Roland Garros and against Fernando Verdasco in the first of the two Cologne tournaments.
Andy Murray wants to eat healthier again
So it's no wonder that Murray was self-critical in an interview with Hantuchova. "I got this machine that measures body fat percentage after the French Open," said Murray. “And the result wasn't good compared to what I had when I was younger. I've worked pretty hard, but I could have done a lot better. I could have eaten healthier and slept more. "
Andy Murray basically sees himself on the right track. “The one thing that hasn't reached the previous level is speed. And that as the only component may never come back. But all the other things like strength and endurance very much. I will probably never be number one in the world again. But I want to do everything the way I did when I was number one. So I give myself the best chance to see what I can achieve. "
