Watch: Andy Murray savagely hits out at critics calling for his retirement after a sensational win over Matteo Berrettini in Miami

World No. 62 Andy Murray continues to prove his mettle at the highest level despite his physical struggles. With a rise in calls for his retirement owing to early exits, his opening round win in the 2024 Miami Masters should shut many of the ‘experts’.

Up against Matteo Berrettini, who’s returning from a long injury layoff, Murray was made to work hard for the win. In a battle that lasted two hours and 48 minutes, the Briton eventually finished on top. He won the match 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to record his 30th win at the prestigious event.

Murray joins six-time champ Novak Djokovic and King of Clay Rafael Nadal in the exclusive club of 30 match wins in Miami. Nole leads the tally with 44 wins while the Spaniard sits second with 40 wins. Interestingly, Nadal is yet to win the title in Miami despite reaching five finals.

Following his on-court interview, as is the norm, Murray was asked to write something on the camera. The three-time singles Major winner has been known for his humor and wit and wasted no chance to show it again. After nearly three hours on the court, Murray took a jibe at his critics by sending a cheeky message.

Life in the old dog yet Wrote Murray.
