And the 27-year-old spoke to Sky Sports about Murray’s influence on her career: I think he’s a true champion in everything he does and I have a lot of respect for what he does every day.
Mr. Boulter continued: “If I needed advice, he’d definitely come to me. He’s been on the road for a long time and I think he’s picked up a lot of wisdom over the years, so he’s someone I would definitely go to for advice. /p>
“It’s all about his accomplishments.” He represents the epitome of tennis in his passion and love for the game, unlike anyone else. We don’t see much of what he accomplished on tour. ”
Many Britons train at the National Tennis Center (NTC) in Roehampton between tournaments, in the off-season, or when they are unable to attend due to injury.
Bolter then revealed how he gets inspired by watching Murray at NTC. “It was a real roller coaster watching him as a kid. But to see him come out the other side and see him achieve his goals is just amazing.” People say my I see kids like that working towards what they wanted at the time and being able to accomplish what he accomplished.
“Watching him work day in and day out here at NTC and still working so hard makes me wonder if I should because it’s really inspiring and so much fun to watch.” 10 Will you still be playing in 2020 or 20 years from now? I don’t know, so it’s nice to see a real champion at work – that’s for sure. ”
She further added: “He was my idol because we watched him fail so many times but get back up and ultimately achieve what he wanted. Because life isn’t easy. , I think that was really moving for me as a human being.” There will be some failures, but what you do afterwards makes a difference, and Andy is a prime example of that. ”
Murray recently suffered another setback after minor shoulder surgery forced him out of England’s Davis Cup final squad, ending the season.
