John Lloyd criticizes the current ATP Top 10 amid the uncertain future of Andy Murray at Wimbledon

In the interview reported by Daily Mail UK, former British number 1 and Chris Evert’s ex-husband, John Lloyd, didn’t shy away from criticizing the current top 10 players in men’s tennis. While recognizing the undeniable talent within the group, Lloyd expressed his belief that, with the exception of Novak Djokovic, the current top 10 lacks the strength seen in previous years. He even went on to suggest that Andy Murray could compete toe-to-toe with, if not surpass, some of these players in terms of skill and ability.

Lloyd stated, “I think he believes, and I?m in agreement, that the top 10 right now is one of the weakest we?ve seen for years, Novak Djokovic aside obviously. They are damn good players but there?s definitely people in that top 10 who Andy would look at and believe he is as good as them if not better.”
