'Each match could be my last one' - Andy Murray after Benoît Paire win at Queen's

Three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray began his grass-court season with a win over world number 46 Benoit Paire at Queen's. However, the 34-year-old has said that every match could be his last during his post-match press conference, adding that his long return from injury has taught him to try not to get too stressed by the demands and pressures of top-level tennis.

Andy Murray has said that every match could be his last.

The three-time Grand Slam winner was speaking after he beat Benoît Paire 6-3 6-2 in the first round of Queen’s. The win means Murray will meet Italy's Matteo Berrettini, who reached the French Open quarter-finals last week, in round two.

The two-time Wimbledon winner said that his long return from injury had taught him not to get too stressed by the pressures of top-level tennis, adding that every match could be his last.

"I just wanted to go out there, enjoy it and just be myself,” began Murray.

“And I'm always sort of telling myself - and maybe it's not the best mindset - but each match could be my last one, you know, that I play now,” continued Murray.

“So I want to make the most of every match that I play in, and each tournament that I get the chance to compete in."

The win was Murray's first singles win on grass since 2018.
