Murray has two years to win grand slam title: Becker
January 16th, 2011 - 12:58 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, Jan.16 (ANI): Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has said that British tennis star Andy Murray has only two years left to possibly win a grand slam title, and adds that after that, it would be next to impossible to do. Warning that time is ticking away for Murray, Becker said Murray must take any opportunities he creates over the next couple of seasons.
“If he does not, he may find that he will never go through a draw sheet in Melbourne, Paris, London or New York,” The Telegraph quoted Becker, as saying.
Becker said Murray must appreciate that he does not have that much time left to win a slam.
Becker told The Sunday Telegraph. “No one is getting any younger, and Murray will turn 24 this year, so in a couple of years he will be 26, and that’s not so young for a tennis player, and you would expect that another group of players would have come through by then.” (ANI)
