Mats Wilander believes Andy Murray will return to Wimbledon and be successful despite the Brit saying he doesn't know.
Murray struck a sombre tone following his John Isner defeat clearly dealing with a lot of sadness following the loss. When asked whether he will return to Wimbledon, Murray was unsure explaining that he can't know for sure because so much depends on his body and how he feels. Mats Wilander on the other hand is not really worried.
I think he's committed himself. He looks like he's moving. I don't know if he's moving as well as ever, but it doesn't look like he has a limp anymore. And again, Ivan Lendl would rather be on the golf course unless he's with somebody who's very, very committed. So I think that that conversation has taken place and Andy Murray looks good.
Speaking about the match Wilander admitted that Murray is not quite there yet. He improved a lot compared to last year but he was clearly a bit rusty which was most likely due to the injury. If he was able to play a couple of more events on grass he probably would have won the match.
Andy is not quite there. He's not quite winning the big points, and we saw that in the fourth set, where he missed two easy shots to lose his serve at 4-2. He wouldn’t have done that five or six years ago. I think he is a little bit rusty. He is ranked in the top 50 – which is an unbelievable effort considering everything he has been through. He has asked Ivan Lendl to come back which tells us everything you need to know. He is 100% committed to coming back. Where does that comeback end? Top 10? Top 20?
