Andy Murray with positive feelings in the Challengers
The Scottish tennis player is happy to play several Challengers this year and even regrets not having played them earlier: "I wish I had moved down a category earlier and I wish I had played more at this level. I played some Challenger tournaments on my return, but maybe I should have stayed there a bit longer. I've beaten three or four Top 100 players in these weeks. I've added some good wins against experienced players on grass."
He also added that these tournaments have been important for him for several reasons: "It has helped me a lot to get used to this situation physically and mentally. Now it's up to me to try to continue like this at the highest level in the coming weeks."
"If I was training at Queen's right now, I would have spent a couple of hours on the practice court and in the gym today. Obviously, there's the mental stress of the matches and the competition, even though some of the matches have been quite fast. Physically I feel good," he finished.
