'He’s like, I wish': Jamie Murray admits brother Andy Murray’s one big ‘regret’

Jamie Murray has highlighted one thing that Carlos Alcaraz has done, but his brother Andy Murray couldn’t during his playing days, which he ‘regretted’ as well. Andy retired from professional tennis in 2024 after representing his country in the Paris Olympics.

On the other hand, Alcaraz arrived in London to feature in the upcoming Queen’s Club Championships after a bit of vacation in Ibiza following his incredible triumph at the French Open, where he defeated Jannik Sinner in an epic five-set thriller with a score of 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6. Jamie has recently spoken to The Tennis Podcast, where he highlighted that his brother Andy regrets not taking a break after any big win, something which Alcaraz does to create a ‘good balance’ in life.

“I like the way he [Alcaraz] does it,” said Jamie. “In tennis, the season is so long, and there’s so many events to play that, you know, it’s easy to have your success and immediately start looking to the next event and preparing for that, and actually not taking the time to enjoy your success in that moment. I think Andy, at times, regretted that when he looked back, he’s like, I wish I’d enjoyed that moment more. And, you know, I’m glad that he’s enjoying his time in the moment that it has come for him. And I think that’s a good kind of life balance, right?”

Jamie then spoke about the buzz around Alcaraz’s arrival to play at the Queen’s Club Championships. The 39-year-old also called Alcaraz ‘the most popular player’ in men’s tennis right now. “The fact that Carlos [Alcaraz] is here now, he’s on-site hitting just now actually, is a big thing for the tournament,” said Jamie. “He, I think, is the most popular player on the tour right now, regardless of ranking. I think for us to have him here will be a huge buzz for the event and just around the grounds in general over the next few days.”
