With the Wimbledon Championship 2023 already in full phase, British Tennis star Andy Murray on 4 July opened up regarding the Tennis legend Roger Federer during an interaction as the latter watched him play from The Royal Box.
On being asked how he feels, as he defeated Britain’s Ryan Penistion 6-3, 6-0, 6-1, Murray said, “It was amazing to see some royalty, but some tennis royalty as well. It’s amazing to have Roger (Federer) here supporting the event last time I was on the court and he was watching the junior Olympics and sat in the Stan Wawrinka ball and was supporting against me.”
Continuing more, he said, “So it’s not its to see.. a couple to claps today after some good shots but now it’s amazing. Hope you doing well Roger, Mirka (Federer), and your parents as well.”
