    Ellen Marshall‏: Andy Murray epitomises everything that’s right with British sport. His sportsmanship, his mentoring of other players, his advocacy for women, his vulnerability, his desire to give everything. He will be so missed.

    Nicola: Being lucky enough to get to meet him at the Davis Cup a couple of years ago in their first match after winning. This guy gave me my love for tennis and it just shows how much you need to appreciate someone in the moment because you just don't know when it will finish.

    As Murray himself said, not bad for someone who is 'boring, miserable' and 'has no personality'...

    Daniel Richards: To win the Paris Masters he beat John Isner, who was playing out of his skin. The way Murray turned it on in the third set, mentally and physically, showed how much he deserves to be right up there. He has everything in is locker. What a sportsman

    Gillian Craigie: Every time he has corrected a commentator who has overlooked the achievements of the female tennis player

    Meagan: Cutting his hair on court. That’s one of many, always entertaining.

    I spoke to Andy Murray a few times for his column in early 2017.

    Voice of Ginge: Gutted for the guy. He's achieved so much and is such a quiet yet gritty competitor. Many had a go about him not having 'personality', well I'd love to see them go one on one with Federer and see how much personality they have. A true British sporting legend.

    Andrew Goodwin: Off to listen to the Day we won Wimbledon podcast for my commute

    Steve Hunter: Best Murray memory was that first Wimbledon. Boiling hot day, few ciders, sheer joy as a fellow Scotsman. Great memories.

  20. 'He's Britain's greatest tennis player'published at 07:58 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2019

    British number one Kyle Edmund on Murray's impact: "For me he's been my biggest role model out of any tennis player. He's Britain's greatest tennis player ever and you could say maybe Britain's best sportsman ever.

    "To be able to have had the experiences that I've had with him and memories in terms of training with him and getting to know him personally and seeing what he's done on the court and achieved, he's definitely helped my career.

    "It's obviously not nice to read that he's going to be retiring at some point but, at the same time, it's a nice way to reflect his career, knowing that he's going to be done, and seeing what he's achieved. It's been amazing."
