00:00No one's had the results that he's had over the years, no one's inspired as many people as he has.

00:07Absolute legend of the sport, all of Feyenoord.

00:10The buzz when he won Wimbledon in 2013 for the first time, I mean it was just, it was insane.

00:16I think Andy's one of the biggest competitors the sport's ever seen.

00:19It'll be an unbelievable legacy I think.

00:22Never expected to do any of the things that I've done, it's just amazing that this happened.

00:39He's one guy that went out of his way to help me when I was coming onto the tour.

00:44Hopefully he can go out on his terms and how he wants to and how he should deserve to go out.

00:50Yeah, it'll be an unbelievable legacy I think to battle it out with probably the greats of our sport,

00:56with Roger Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.

00:58In my eyes, he's right up there with one of the greatest of all time.

01:05Just incredible competitor, off the court also, such a great person.

01:09Also, he showed his character coming back after the surgeries and competing.

01:16It's been a lot of pleasure to practice with him, to share some court time.

01:21Obviously, first of all, I just want to say I love Andy as a person.

01:24He's the one that when I came on the tour, he was really, really humble and he always said hi to me.

01:29I was very happy about it and I just love watching Andy, love playing Andy.

01:36It's amazing what he did.

01:38I mean, I have just admiration.

01:43I think that's the word for me.

01:47I think it's a phenomenal effort that Murray was able to win three slams, two Olympic golds and the Olympics.

01:54So, yeah, phenomenal career.

01:56The legacy for British tennis is huge.

01:58No one's had the results that he's had over the years.

02:01No one's inspired as many people as he has.

02:04He's a great person, first of all.

02:07I know him since we were very young age.

02:09I know the family too.

02:11I mean, he has an amazing career.

02:14I wish him luck in his life, in his family life, in his next chapter in the future.

02:22What he's brought to the table in tennis has been incredible.

02:25At the time when you had literally three guys dominating and that was Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.

02:33And for him to be multiple Grand Slam champion, number one in the world and the gold medalist and, sorry, Davis Cup champion.

02:40I mean, he's done it all.

02:44He's done it all.
