On the other hand, Andy Murray is anxious and says he would not be able to do ‘anything’ if something happened to his hip now, other than retire.

Murray has endured a torrid time with injuries since climbing to world number one in 2016.

He, in an interview said: “People ask me, who will retire first: Federer, Djokovic, Nadal or myself?

“I’d say Federer. He’s 39. But who knows?

“If something happened to my hip, for instance, I couldn’t do anything about it.”

Murray also revealed he is completely different away from tennis than he is perceived on court.

“People see me on TV and think I am very intense, moody and difficult.

But take me away from the court and I’m pretty laid-back. I don’t have a temper, don’t break things; don’t punch walls and I don’t shout and scream. But when I’m on the tennis court, I do.”
