Andy Murray is one of the best tennis players in history, and he loves watching some of his colleagues in action whenever he can. During a recent interview, the former world No. 1 admitted that he is always happy to see Carlos Alcaraz, Emma Raducanu, and Iga Swiatek competing.
Andy told Eurosport: “I love watching Swiatek; she moves great, and I like the shape she plays with on the ball. I always watch Emma matches when I can, but I do love watching Swiatek. I love watching Alcaraz; he’s great to watch with his game style and his personality on the court.
I also enjoy watching Medvedev, just because he’s got such a different game to a lot of the players. He’s very unorthodox; nothing he does on court is textbook.”
