Andy Murray carved out a spectacular career for himself considering the era in which he played and he admitted as much in a recent interview.
The era of the big three has been the most spectacular part of tennis history to date. We had three players who are one-of-a-kind talents in tennis playing at the same time. Each of them won at least 20 grand slams directly competing with each other. I don't know what else can you add when the next closest is not even close to that number.
Despite all of that, Murray was able to carve out a spectacular career for himself especially considering the circumstances and he is aware that it's a bit unfortunate for his legacy.
Unfortunately, I have been playing in a time where the three guys ahead of me are quite good. Between them, they have got 63 Slams, so it's not been easy to win those sort of events.
Despite all of that Murray is not too down on his legacy. After all, he was able to win a couple of grand slams including Wimbledon which was his dream at the age of 19 when he was just starting. He is currently in Newport playing at the Hall of Fame Open and one day he will be inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in the same place.
Obviously, as a 19-year-old, it would have been my dream to win a tournament like Wimbledon and get to No. 1 in the world and these things. When I was a kid, I never never would have expected to do that.
