With the will of a champion: Andy Murray had already announced the end of his career in tears. Now the tennis professional is adding another chapter to his impressive comeback story at the US Open.
Andy Murray had only one wish: an ice bath, a kingdom for an ice bath. Rapid cooling for the battered muscles. “There’s one in the locker room,” said the Scot immediately after he turned his match point against Yoshihito Nishioka from Japan at the US Open. “They say it is only for emergencies. But this is an emergency. My body hurts. “
When he appeared in a good mood at the press conference a good 90 minutes later, Murray was able to report execution. There are even two ice baths, he reported. In view of the large number of players who are in action in the first rounds, however, the occupancy must be regulated by the organizer. “But after a match like that, they said, I could of course use it. That was good.”
