London, Feb 1 (ANI): Andy Murray, who again failed to end Britain’s 75-year wait for a men’s Grand Slam champion, has said that he is not a choker.
Murray knows what the nation went through as Novak Djokovic destroyed his Australian Open dream, and knows that critics are ready to pounce on him after his third flop in a major final, The Sun reports.
“It’s true I haven’t produced, I know that. But it doesn’t faze me what everybody else thinks. I give the best I can every time. I’d like to have played better but I didn’t. It’s not an easy thing to get to a Grand Slam final - it is very difficult to win one, as well.
“Everyone can say whatever they think but I will go away and enjoy myself while they are worrying about it,” Murray said.
He further said that he wants to enjoy himself at tournaments and away from the court.
“It is balancing the two to make it as good and as fun as possible. The last year has been great and, hopefully, I will move on from here,” Murray said. (ANI)
