Andy Murray loves Spain! The world no.1 went to Barcelona to train when he was young, and now he is always happy to go to Mallorca to practice with his friend Rafael Nadal.

Why I move to Spain to train. MURRAY

Talking about his friend Rafa, Andy explained how and why he was convinced to go to Spain in the early years of his career.

“He didn´t speak much English, I didn´t speak much Spanish,” Murray said. “But I just asked him about how he trains over in Spain and who he trains with. 

He was practicing for a few hours a day when he was there he was practicing with Carlos Moya. And I was practicing just a few hours a week with my brother.

That was when I realized if I wanted to try to go to the next level and become a professional I was going to have to sort of change the environment I was training in. That´s one of the reasons I moved to Spain.”
