Andy Murray is ‘one of Britain’s greatest ever sportsmen’ – Rusedski
Former Grand Slam finalist Greg Rusedski says Andy Murray should be considered as one of Britain’s 'greatest sportsmen’ after winning Wimbledon for the second time.
Murray beat Milos Raonic in straight to sets to become Wimbledon champion for a second time, his third Grand Slam title.
“The British public should look at Andy Murray as one of our greatest sportsmen in the history of any sport,” Rusedski said.
“What he’s accomplished is tremendous,” he added.
Rusedski also believes Murray will only improve and has the ability to overtake Novak Djokovic the top of men’s tennis.
“I think he can go on and win the US Open now,” said the former Flushing Meadows finalist.
“I think in 2017 he’ll get to world number one,” he added.
