Andy Murray finally got his moment to shine at this year's Australian Open reaching the 3rd round and beating some big players.

Murray won some major matches and finally showed everybody that he can still do some damage however it took him nearly 9 hours to do so. It was mostly because the player he played are good and they also played well. Matteo Berrettini and Thanasi Kokkinakis are huge wins for Murray.

I can have a deeper run than the third round of a Slam, there's no question about that. Obviously draws can open up for you. I need to also help myself with that. If I was playing at this level last year, I probably wouldn't be ranked 50, 60 in the world. It's up to me to try and change that.

Murray plans on continuing playing and giving himself chances to be great because it could end tomorrow. He doesn't know when it will all end but he keeps on going for as long as he can do some damage. Right now, e can still do some damage and the hope is that will be the case when he does retire.

You never know exactly when the end is going to be. I would like to go out playing tennis like this, where I'm competing with the best players in the world in the biggest events and doing myself justice.
