Very touching to hear Nazanin talk about watching Andy while in prison. He got a bit choked up talking to her about it. I think the thought that it gave her such joy really meant a lot to him.
Also Andy asked Nazanin really great questions - a much better interviewer than some of the so-called professionals :thumbup:

Thank so much for this - it’s really interesting - and I feel more reassured knowing that Lendl is out in Australia right now with Andy and that they are working out what’s the right thing for Andy and have thought through all the different permutations

One more example of Andy's qualities as a friend:
"Last year, Kyrgios’s mother, Nill, told media that former world No 1 Andy Murray was another major catalyst in saving her son’s life. The Scot noticed evidence of self-harm on Kyrgios’ body and warned his former manager, John Morris"

This is what Andy has to say
Former world number one Murray has trained and practised regularly with Draper, saying he "knows how good" the younger player already is.
"Jack is a big server, he's a big guy and plays with a lot of top-spin as well," said the three-time Grand Slam champion.
"It is a great opportunity for him against Rafa to go out there and see exactly where he's at."

Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jan/15/andy-murray-matteo-berrettini-australian-open) - Unseeded Andy Murray fit and ready for tough Australian Open run
The source of Murray’s confidence rests in a solid off-season. He had finished the year with perhaps one of his worst performances over the past four years, losing to Gilles Simon in the Frenchman’s final tournament, after serving for an easy win. Afterwards, Murray expressed dissatisfaction at his training and preparation. Now he feels he is moving as well as he has done since his hip surgery.
“There was some stuff in my game I was struggling with for large parts of last year, so obviously I worked on that a lot in the off-season,” he said. “It’s the first time in a while where I’ve had six, seven weeks of work uninterrupted by anything, so I feel like I was able to make some improvements in the off-season and feel a bit more comfortable with my game.”

Speaking after the match, Wilander admitted he wrote Murray off too soon, saying, “A couple of years ago Andy, you played at the French Open and I was questioning you taking a wildcard. You went out and played against Stan Wawrinka on the Philippe-Chatrier, you didn’t look motivated and I thought maybe you shouldn’t have taken that wildcard.
“You then later told me that you were going to take every wildcard because ‘I am wanting to get back’. Today, you’ve proved me wrong in a way because to see you fight like that, to see your problem-solving skills and to get rewarded for all the hard work makes it all worthwhile to stay in this job”, he said.
Looking ahead to the rest of Murray’s tournament, Wilander said, “We’ve missed you playing at the top of your game and you’re back in every way, so well done and I can’t wait to see your projection into the tournament now you've beaten one of the best players in the world.”

“He seems to have adapted his tactics and Ivan Lendl, my old rival, he wouldn't be wasting his time if he didn't believe he could do big things.
“Having him in his corner and being there sends a message to his other opponents and adds an element of interest to the whole situation because Ivan is at the point where he doesn't need to do any of this.
"That he's rededicated himself to being with Andy tells you something. I've seen him a couple times last year. He talked about believing Andy was going to still do some big things. It didn't really play out that way last year, but he's still there, so he still believes, and I think that's important for Andy.”

Before he could even be asked about his next opponent, Kokkinakis was already focused on Thursday’s match as he told the home crowd he was ready. He continued: “Adelaide gave me a lot of confidence, I’ve been playing great these last two weeks. I feel like my tennis is at a good level, I came here with a little bit of time to prepare unlike last time and I feel good, I’m ready to give tomorrow a crack.”
The former world No 69 was then asked about his meeting with Murray, and responded: “Yeah I’m very hungry. Andy is a hell of a player, has been for many, many years now. He played a great first round.”
Kokkinakis also opened up on their friendship and private messages, adding: “I’ve known him for a while, he was one of the guys that really took me under his wing when I came out on tour, always sending me messages of encouragement and advice so we know each other pretty well but I’ll put that all aside tomorrow and give it a red hot crack.”

“My wife has been unbelievably supportive,” Murray told reporters in Melbourne. “She's helped a lot, because I would understand if she turned around and said to me – with some of the tennis I was playing at the end of last year, when I wasn’t really having much success – ‘Look, come home, we don't need to do this anymore.’ But she still believes in me.”
Murray commended his whole team – which includes his coach Ivan Lendl – for remaining loyal through those months of famine last year. But he also emphasised that, ultimately, it is up to him to stay committed to the grand project.
“I'm surrounding myself with people that I trust in and believe in, and I listen to what they tell me,” Murray said. “They all play a role for me, but it would have been quite easy for me to lose belief in myself and to stop motivating myself. At this stage of my career, that has to come from me.”

There was praise for Andy Murray from former doubles world No 1 Rennae Stubbs following his “pretty phenomenal” Ukraine relief effort gesture, but she also made fun of his on-court demeanour.
....
“Obviously the guy has a lot of money. He clearly has made a lot of money from the sport of tennis but it’s still well over half a million dollars to give away. It’s pretty phenomenal. That is his money, he earned, he’s just one of the great guys,” she said on the Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast.
Although the television commentator also joked about his on-court character as she used some peculiar words and phrases to deliver said praise.
The Australian added: “He gets a bad rap. He’s a little tough to watch sometime. He carries on at times on the court like a porkchop [sic]. We know that we’ve given him a crack about it. You know, he’s a bit whiny, complainy. But, off the tennis court, there’s no better guy, there’s no nicer guy, there’s no funnier guy.”

“Andy is someone I respect a great amount,” said the 26-year-old from Adelaide, who won the doubles title at Melbourne Park last year with his good friend Nick Kyrgios.
“He was someone when I came on to tour that was always willing to give some advice. We get along really well. I remember watching him when I was younger thinking this dude looks moody as hell, he looks miserable. Then when you got to know him, he is actually a ripper bloke and a good guy.”
.....
Kokkinakis is ranked down at 159, but he has beaten six top-20 players in his career, including Roger Federer in Miami and Andrey Rublev last week in his home city.
His only previous meeting with Murray came in Davis Cup in 2015, when the Australian won just six games in three sets.
“He definitely handed it to me that day, but I’m ready now, I feel good,” said Kokkinakis.
“It’s going to be a tough match, obviously. I watched a fair bit of his match against Berrettini and he played great. He is looking in good shape. I practised with him a fair bit recently.
“I’m just going to continue to play my game. He may have lost a little bit, but his anticipation is just as good as ever, and he can still play at the top with the best of them. I’m going to be ready for the best version of Murray.”

4:25am
The moment Murray exited the court after nearly six hours of gruelling competition, he had no time for pleasantries. He had media duties to fulfil, and while other players may have made their excuses, Murray got it done as soon as he could so he – and everyone else – could leave Melbourne Park at last.
After exiting the player tunnel, he promptly ushered the 20 or so remaining journalists into the bowels of the Margaret Court Arena. He sat on a plastic chair while they all huddled close and some lunged to hover their dictaphones within earshot.
"I thought his press situation last night was so funny," Laura Robson, the former British player turned-Eurosport broadcaster, said. "Usually you'd go to the broadcast centre and it's a bit more of a serious thing in the press conference room. He was basically doing a walk-and-talk on the way out from where player services is, hustling the media to try and get them moving – maybe 10 to 15 mins max and then he was out of there."
......
9:30am
After a stunted "night's" sleep, and just over five hours on from his match ending, Murray was remarkably back at Melbourne Park. Why on earth did he sacrifice precious time in bed, you ask? An appointment with the on-site podiatrist, to take a look at his feet. The glamorous life of a professional tennis player never stops.
..
6:30pm
Murray returns from a mid-day rest – and almost certainly an afternoon nap – to the Margaret Court Arena, fewer than eight hours on to have a 20-minute hit, with bleary-eyed coach Ivan Lendl on hand to advise. Understandably, he looked extremely stiff and sore. He grabbed some food while at Melbourne Park too.
His brother Jamie - who won his mixed doubles match on Friday alongside American Taylor Townsend, but lost in the men's with New Zealander Michael Venus - said getting on court at all was a good sign.
"I just saw him there, he was just having food – I was surprised to see him," Jamie said. "He probably just wanted to move around and stuff. It's probably a good thing to keep his body moving. I mean, if he was really feeling absolutely atrocious, he wouldn't have done it, would he?"
Murray stayed on-site for further recovery, including a massage, and then headed back to his hotel for an early night. "It's positive signs he's been out on Margaret Court Arena having a hit, done a couple of hours recovery in between and now can probably go to bed at the grand ol' time of 6.30pm," Robson said. "He's very deserving of a 12-hour sleep."

“I am stunned in disbelief that they were still playing at that hour. For starters, it was insane that matches at that level are played 4-430am in the morning,” McEnroe, a seven-time Grand Slam winner, said.
“Murray, we knew he had a heart of a champion, that goes without saying, but that’s you know, him digging and deeper than I’ve ever seen him with everything he’s been through.
“It makes me personally, as an ex-player, proud to look at these tennis players – Andy, in particular, Kokkinakis, you feel for him, but it’s one of those moments where you feel proud of your sport and you see guys giving 110% for 5.5 hours.
“While on the one hand, it is historic, you also worry, you know about the consequences down the road. There’s recovery, when you could even possibly think about going to sleep, how do you even look at the next opponent?
“Those are things for tomorrow and you hope that in some way there could be some type of level of recovery but just enjoy the moment – you put a smile on everybody’s face. It was one of the most insane things I’ve seen in all my years watching tennis.”

Murray will next play in Rotterdam, the indoor ATP 500 event that begins in three weeks on Monday, and then his schedule is full. He will also compete in Dubai in February, then at the Sunshine Double, Indian Wells and Miami.
At the end of the Australian Open, Murray will be ranked around 62nd. After continually losing in the second round of tournaments throughout last spring, Murray has only 160 points to defend before the clay court season. Should he hope to move towards the top 32 in order to secure seeding in the second half of the season, he must start making positive strides.
Whether he chooses to compete on clay will be another decision to make. After not contesting the clay court season in 2021, Murray had planned not to compete on clay last year before he changed his mind.

“Andy is a bit of a counter puncher,” McEnroe told Eurosport.
“This has been talked about for numerous years, the need to be more aggressive.
“He's one of the great returners that [have] ever played. To me, he needs to take advantage of that and be more willing to move forward and finish points more quickly.
“I think [Rafael] Nadal has been doing a great job of that recently in the last four or five years where he picks the right moments to shorten points.
“Andy is no fool, he's tactically very smart. I'm sure that going over this, it's not his natural inclination.
“He may feel like he doesn't have that explosion, that first step that he used to have. So maybe he's a little hesitant about moving forward. That's a dilemma.”

“The sad part is that obviously the finish time of the previous match affected his performance in the third round and the door was open for him to make a run,” McEnroe told Eurosport.
“It seems like he’s fit enough and the body is holding up well enough that, with a little bit of luck, he could have gone a lot further.
“Bautista Agut is a seasoned pro, he’s a very good player. But obviously if the two of them play at their top level, Murray’s going to win.”
McEnroe admits that the flip side of the coin is that Murray would also be in better shape if he had put Kokkinakis away quickly.
“It’s got to be extremely hard mentally for him to put in that much effort and sort of get thrown off because he played at four in the morning.
“Having said that, if he had beat Kokkinakis in straight sets, we wouldn’t be discussing this and I believe the outcome of his match with Bautista Agut would have been different.
“That’s the way tennis works. It’s harsh when you’re out there on your own. So he’s got to figure out a way to get himself in matches where he can finish guys off quicker.
“Both matches took its toll and that’s a big ask for anyone at any age to be able to rebound consistently and go all the way or deep into a tournament.
“I think he certainly has the respect of everyone that’s around the sport, the players. But he’s got to figure out a way to tighten things up.”
John McEnroe believes that what Murray really wants in the remaining days of his career is not consistency on tour but rather one last deep run at a Grand Slam.

“I slept from 6am until 9am, the night, well the morning, I played the match with Kokkinakis which obviously isn’t enough,” said Murray.
“Then I had to come in here, had about seven or eight blisters that I had to have drained then you put this liquid in to dry them.
“I had to come in and do that in the morning to give them time to settle, then I went back to the hotel, slept for a few hours and then hit for like 15 minutes yesterday [Friday], and [had] the ice baths, saw my physio.
“My feet didn’t feel great, my legs were actually Ok, they didn’t feel too bad. But I was struggling with my lower back and that was affecting my serve and that was really the main thing that I was struggling with today.”

Andy Murray is targeting a return to French Open this year as he continues his quest to move up into the top 32 of the ATP rankings.
Moving higher up the rankings would secure the Scot a seeded place in the Grand Slams, and those hopes were following a victory over Lorenzo Sonego in the first round of the Qatar Open.
“My plan just now is to play in Rome, Madrid and hopefully the French Open, providing my body is good," Murray said in Doha
“I’ll do a training block after Miami on the clay, I’m going to do that in Europe somewhere for three or four weeks. I’ll train, try and get my body used to the clay courts and monitor how my body is feeling.”
The former world No. 1 has only made two appearances in the last six years at Roland Garros, and will be eager to right the wrongs of a straight sets first-round defeat to Stan Wawrinka three years ago.
“Physically, I was not good the year I played against Wawrinka,” he said. “I’d like to get the opportunity to play it one more time before I stop playing. While I feel physically really good, I would like to play there again.”

After reaching the last 16 on her 16th birthday, she was asked what it was like rubbing shoulders with the most recognisable stars of the sport.
"When you're here and take a lunch with all these stars, you see Andy Murray, you see his face and he's so beautiful in life. He is so amazing," she said.
Murray responded with typical humour, tweeting: "Imagine how good she's going to be when she gets her eyes fixed!"
