“For me, right now, Medvedev is best equipped to win on hard. He just won the US Open, but before that, his hard results were excellent. I think his game is more complete than the others; on clay, it’s hard to say,” said Murray in an interview at Antwerp. Speaking of Stefanos, he said that the guy is “not bad at all” but “there are several other guys who could win too”. 

When asked about Alcaraz, the 34-year old said, “I also think of Alcaraz, who has enormous potential but who is still young. There are quite a few guys who could aim for the top of the basket.” Murray ended by saying “But I don’t think any of them will manage to win 20 Grand Slams as the 3 monsters did.”
