Andy Murray

Several years have passed, and an anecdote related to Andy Murray has come to light. It involves Larry Stefanki, who admits to rejecting the British player: "He was too weak and too young, and I didn't like all the baggage I knew would come with the position, but I always had the certainty he would be a top 10 player. He was a kid back then, now he's a man," said the American, as reported by tennishead.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is one of the tennis players most affected by the convergence of historical players during the era in which he developed his career. The Frenchman had to face the best times of the Big 3, but when asked about the player who caused him the most difficulties, he surprised by choosing Andy Murray. "He had tremendous ability to play at the same pace as me and be more consistent, which made me block," he said before clarifying his response. "But of course, if you play against Nadal on clay... That is the ultimate challenge," he comments.

Rafael Nadal ?
Novak Djokovic ?
Roger Federer ?

During several years of his sports career, Nick Kyrgios had Andy Murray as one of his main supporters. The Australian constantly praised the Scotsman, placing him on par with the Big Three and mentioning that he was always one of those players who stood by him, giving him advice and good wishes. However, Nick pointed out in a chat with Unscripted that, nowadays, little of that remains: "I don't know anymore if he's my friend or not. I guess he's an acquaintance, we used to be closer. We don't talk much. I wanted him to come to my podcast and he acted as if he was too important. That's the truth. I thought: 'Dude, make some time'". At the very least, a curious annoyance.

Carlos Alcaraz begins this Monday, October 6, what will be his 41st week as ATP number 1, a remarkable milestone considering that it equals all the time that Andy Murray held that privileged position. The British player was in the 15th position on the historic list of players with the most weeks at the top of the ranking, now being matched by Alcaraz.

Andy Murray does not regret having been Novak Djokovic's coach for a few months. Although the partnership had its ups and downs, the Scot could not turn down that opportunity: "I enjoyed it at the beginning, but obviously the results were not what I expected, and I am sure they were not what Djokovic expected either. Still, I am glad I did it. It was a unique opportunity, and if I had not done it, I would have regretted it. Being able to spend time with one of my greatest rivals, one of the greatest athletes of all time, trying to help him, learn from him, and understand him was fascinating. But if you want to do a good job as a coach, in my opinion, you need to spend a lot of time with the person, and that is difficult when they do not live close to you," he said in an interview with 'The Times'.

Andy Murray has been very clear when talking about Carlos Alcaraz's tennis. The Scot gave an interview with 'The Times' and there confessed that the Spaniard's game reminds him of the soccer of his childhood idol: Ronaldinho. "Alcaraz's tennis reminds me of the soccer of my favorite childhood footballer, whom I was able to watch live several times: Ronaldinho. Both have all this talent and ability, obviously they want to win, but they play with a smile on their face. If the moment comes to do something fun, they do it, and I think that's what makes them so fascinating, because you never know what's going to happen next, so I especially enjoy watching them play," said the former tennis player.

With the defeat of Novak Djokovic against Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals of the US Open 2025, a cycle that has lasted for 23 years comes to a close. This will be the first season since 2002 where none of the Big-4 members (Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Murray) have contested one of the four Grand Slam finals. 2002 - This is now the first season where one of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, or Roger Federer have not reached a Men's Singles final at a Grand Slam event since 2002.

Rivalry fulfilled. It seems unbelievable that, despite the age gap between them, Carlos Alcaraz can already be considered one of the most important rivals in Novak Djokovic's career. Perhaps not in terms of the number of matches played, but certainly in their significance. The Spanish and the Serbian have faced each other at all 4 Grand Slam tournaments, the ATP Finals, and the Olympics.

This is something only four other men have done with Djokovic: Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Kei Nishikori. The cases of Federer and Wawrinka are incomplete as they did not compete against the Serbian at the Olympic Games, although they did meet at all four majors and the ATP Finals.

Carlos Alcaraz is just 22 years old, but he has already faced the GOAT Novak Djokovic (16 years older):

At the Australian Open
At Roland Garros
At Wimbledon (twice)
At the US Open (Friday)
At the Olympics
At the ATP Finals
