Andy Murray shows true colours after private Stan Wawrinka chat in French Open loss
Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka both showed their class after contesting their 23rd match against each other. Wawrinka came out on top 6-4 6-4 6-2 in the first round of the French Open.
After the match, they had a lengthy chat during their handshake at the net. Murray refused to share the details of the “private” chat.
But he was still happy to voice his respect for Wawrinka in the wake of defeat, with the former world No. 3 doing the same.
“Well, it’s a private conversation,” Murray said when asked what they told one another. “But I said well done for winning.”
It was Murray’s third successive match against Wawrinka at the French Open. They faced off in the 2017 semi-final and again in the first round back in 2020. The Swiss star won all three of those meetings but it was the former world No. 1 who came out on top in the 2016 semi-final.
