Andy Murray talks about tennis as an escape from the biggest nightmare of his life. And, no - these are not the injuries that nearly dropped him from the sport in late 2018 and early this year. Andy and his brother Jamie were at a school in the Scottish town of Dunblane on March 13, 1996, when Thomas Hamilton killed 16 of their classmates and one teacher before shooting himself. In the story, this event remains like Dunblane`s Mutiny, and Murray recalled the injury from him in a radio broadcast on Monday.
The horror and the effect it has had on the brothers is also discussed in the documentary, which Amazon will release on November 29th. It is called - `Andy Murray: Resurfacing`.
`You asked me why tennis is so important to me, ` Murray said on the show. `I was 9 years old when that thing happened in Dunblane. For all the kids we were there then, life isn`t easy, different way, but it could not be otherwise.
We knew this man who was getting on the school van, and my parents and my parents drove him to the train station. . . 12 months after the incident, my parents divorced. It was very difficult for everyone. You see, but you don`t understand what`s going on.
Another 12 months later, my brother moved out of our home. He went to train at a tennis academy. And we were used to doing everything together, this made things even more difficult for me.
The problems continued in tennis. At first I had difficulty breathing, but it was not fatigue. It came from stress. I don`t talk about this stuff almost never, I don`t remember when I did it. . .
Over the years, the words come easier, you can confess to people, talk about these things openly. And yet it was not easy for me. I did it because of the movie that is about to air. But now that the premiere is coming, I feel vulnerable. Not to mention that I don`t like watching footage on television at all. . . But I had to do it. I needed.
My escape is tennis. On the court, I`m a person, I`m someone. I show my good and bad traits, but I am. Tennis is the answer to the questions I never ask about what happened in childhood. Because they have no answer. `
32-year-old Andy also paid attention to the injuries, as well as his great return with the title of single in Antwerp and participation in the UK Davis Cup team, which reached the semifinals last week.
`In September in Asia, I told myself that if I didn`t play well by the end of the year and didn`t win a tournament, I would lose everything, ` Murray said. `But I won two or three games via today soccer games and suddenly felt better. I stopped thinking aboutthis, I will not give up. In January, it all starts again, and I have a dual motivation to fight for every victory again. `
