Murray: Time is Now


Andy Murray respects Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, but he doesn’t expect to emulate them.

The reigning Wimbledon champion doesn’t envision himself winning Grand Slam titles in his mid-30s. In an interview with Sky Sports, Murray said his time to win majors is now.

"I'm not expecting to be winning Grand Slams until I'm 35 or 36, so I'll try to make the most of the last few years," Murray told Sky Sports. "I never thought I'd win one, so being on two [Wimbledon titles] and going with a chance for a third."

The 35-year-old Federer rallied from a break down in the fifth set to beat Nadal and win his 18th Grand Slam championship at the Australian Open. The 31-year-old Nadal won his 10th Roland Garros crown.

Murray, who celebrated his 30th birthday on May 15th, says he feels a sense of urgency to make the most of his time at the top.

"I don't know how many more opportunities I'll get to compete for the Grand Slams so I want to make the most of it. That's why, after the French Open, I didn't take a long break. "I took a couple of days off then I've been on the grass courts to prepare as best I can. Hopefully I'll get some good matches in at Queen's to set myself up for a good run. "
