Despite having a metal hip, Andy Murray still loves to play tennis and can't wait to see one of his rivals, Roger Federer compete again.

The Swiss Maestro is set to make a comeback at the 2022 Laver Cup and also play the 2022 Swiss Indoors in Basel this year. Roger Federer didn't play since the last year's Wimbledon and many can't wait to see him play again, including Andy Murray. The Scot currently plays at the 2022 Stuttgart Open where he advanced already to the quarterfinals and in one of the interviews, he said:

“I would love to see Roger back playing again,” said Andy Murray about his colleague's comeback. “It’s always difficult to know when the end is. Obviously, people have been talking about it for many years. The next generation have come through."

"[But] the same guys are still winning the Grand Slams and I’d love to see Roger back competing again. I don’t know his situation, but I believe he will get back to competing. I don’t know how long for, but I really hope we can play another tournament together. It’s been a long time.”

“I have not shown that consistently over the past few years, but on one-off results, I have. “I’ve beaten a lot of the top guys in the world since I came back, but not consistently. I’m hoping now that with a period with no injuries and lots of tournaments, I’ll get back to doing that soon.”

“For me the past four or five years have been very different to that, playing Challengers and my ranking dropped. I feel like our situations are different, but ultimately the reasons I am still playing are because I love the game, and because I still think I can compete right at the highest level," said Andy Murray.
