‘One of the Best Matches That I Played’ – Andy Murray Reveals the Best Performance of His Professional Career Featuring Roger Federer

Former world no.1, Andy Murray was one of the very few players who posed a solid threat to the Big Three, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. As a result, the British player became a part of the Big Four. In the era of the big three, Andy even won three Grand Slam titles, including two Wimbledon Championships. 

Through the years, Murray had many memorable matches, especially with the Big Three. He always goes a level up whenever he plays against Roger, Rafa, or Novak. Speaking about his best performance on the tennis court, he picked an interesting event. 

Andy Murray picks his best performance

3-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray recently talked about his best performance as a tennis player. He picked the gold medal match against Roger Federer at the London Olympics in 2012.

Incredibly, Murray successfully defended his singles gold medal at the Rio Olympics 2016. In the final, he beat Juan Martin del Potro to clinch his second Olympic gold. Undoubtedly, the atmosphere was electric.

The match lasted four sets, as the British player beat the Argentine by 7-5,4-6,6-2,7-5. After that win, Murray became the only player, both male and female, to win two Olympic singles gold medals. 

Right now, Murray is struggling with form and consistency on the tour after returning from a long-term injury last year. Currently, he’s through to the second round after beating Taro Daniel in his first round. Next, he will play Alexander Bublik, which will definitely be a tough match for the Brit. At the age of 34, it will be great for Andy if he can go far in a Masters 1000 tournament.
