Zitat des Tages von Andy Murray:
Boxing, mixed martial arts and tennis are the hardest sports to train for.
Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how tough it is, but the people watching make it so much easier to play.
To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit.
I don't actually go to that many concerts.
A lot of the players are very complimentary about each other; they embrace at the end of matches because the level of the tennis has been so good. I think that's something that tennis has got to be proud of.
When I'm training in December, I have to eat like 6,000 calories a day to maintain my weight. It's a bit tiring.
I don't play any tournaments to come second best.
I often find that pundits are quite negative... not just in tennis, but in sport in general. I just don't like that. Obviously, the job of a pundit is to create interest and a bit of controversy. I get that. Listeners like that. But I do think there's a duty there to promote the sport and talk about how good these people are at what they do.
I had great success with Ivan Lendl. Was he a perfect coach? No. Was he a very good coach? Yeah. He had some very strong qualities and some things that weren't so good.
Normally I sleep for 9, 10 hours a night.
I'm definitely open to change, but at the same time I am quite stubborn.
My fitness trainer's English, my physio's English, some of my friends are English. I don't have a problem with English people at all.
I never read. The paper or anything. I watch a lot of movies, and TV series and stuff. But I never, never read.
I do some 400 m. repetition running for endurance on the court. I'll be in the gym lifting weights, or I'll be putting in a lot of core stability to work to improve my balance.
Contrary to my image, I do have a sense of humour.
When I'm at home, I enjoy going go-karting.
A lot of athletes use sports psychologists.
Well, my mum's been a tennis coach - she coached me till I was 12.
My dinner options are kept simple during Wimbledon. I have either salmon with rice, roast chicken with vegetables and potatoes, or steak with salad. My girlfriend Kim will cook, and I know each night that it will be one of those three.
People say to me, 'You don't seem that interested in interviews.' Well, you know, I'm not, often. I'm not going to talk tactics with the press, so you are left with talking about how you are feeling; for me, it is not the most interesting thing to be doing.
It's easy to start over-thinking things and over-analysing things.
I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport.
You can't focus on other people's careers. Everybody is different.
Like most guys, I've always liked watches. I can always check the time on my phone, but having a watch is so much better.
I've never felt nervous in front of big crowds and in big stadiums.
I am not anti-English, and I never was.
I feel like I'm more a fan of tennis rather than it being men's or women's. I enjoy watching doubles as well when it's on. I think that there are certain players that I enjoy watching on the men's and women's side. There's some players that I don't enjoy watching on both sides.
I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.
You are always talking about yourself and tennis and how you are feeling. I try to avoid it when I don't have to.
I just enjoy watching tennis. And there's things that you can learn from the men's and the women's game.
Wimbledon, for me, is the most important tournament of the year, so you know there's always going to be people expecting me to do well.
I am Scottish. I am also British.
For much of the year, you're just trying to maintain your fitness. It's not often you get a lot of time to really concentrate on improving it.
Staying more controlled mentally stemmed from taking my fitness more seriously. When you're doing track work, sprints and so on, it's pretty painful, but that does make you feel better prepared and therefore mentally stronger when you're going into a match. You know, without a doubt, that you are strong enough to last.
