British tennis star Andy Murray is among the top tennis players of the current generation. Once a member of the big four, he had the potential to become one of the greatest. However, multiple injury issues derailed his career. The 35-year-old had announced his retirement back in 2019. However, to the relief of many fans, he returned to the Tour.

After the comeback, he lacks the old flair but still does well enough to stay active on the tour. Meanwhile, Murray replied to an interesting question on Twitter. There are a few essentials for everyone in life. However, we can do good without a few of them, too. Here’s what Murray chose in an interesting Twitter banter.
