Judy Murray watched son Andy move towards the end of his remarkable career with a thrilling win – and the proud mum said: “He has changed the face of British tennis”.Judy, who coached the three-times Grand Slam-winning legend, insists the time is right for the 37-year-old to hang the racquet up at the Olympics after battling injury setbacks for years.
And as she paid a glowing tribute to the former world No1, she urged the authorities to ensure his legacy is not wasted.Speaking to the Record at Roland Garros – where Andy and Dan Evans pulled off a stunning comeback to defeat Japanese pair Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel last night, and delay Murray’s retirement for at least one more match – Judy said the star “has the rest of his life to look forward to”.She said: “Andy knows it’s the right time for him.
His body won’t let him do what he needs to do now. He has made the decision that he’s stopping. If it’s the right one for him that’s great.
