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 in the sports I've 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.
01:10Also, 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.
01:32I was very happy about it.
01:34I just love watching Andy, love playing Andy.
01:37It's amazing what he did and I have just admiration.
01:43I think that's the word for me.
01:48I 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.

02:04He's a great person, first of all.
02:06I know him since we were very young age.
02:09I know the family too.
02:10I mean, he has an amazing career.
02:13I 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.
02:24At 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.
02:38And, sorry, Davis Cup champion.
02:40I mean, he's done it all.
