Katie Boulter hits back at Emma Raducanu remark with Andy Murray theory - Tennis News

K Bolter has insisted Andy Murray's Legacy lives on at the US Open after Emma rukan who dismissed the double Wimbledon champion as old news and fellow British number one Jack Draper said he will miss the smell of the Scots rancid stinking shoes at the first Grand Slam since his retirement rukin his wrist injury denied Murray a final Wimbledon farewell in the mixed doubles and the 2021 Champion caused more controversy here by claiming that unforgiving tennis just moves on without the night of the realm it doesn't feel different at all she said coldly it is not a sentiment shared by the top two British players in New York and both Bolter and dra insisted they had been inspired to play tennis by Murray in warm tributes the Scott won the US Open Junior Title Here in 2004 and his first Grand Slam title in 2012 and Bolter said his legacy lives on I walk past his pictures here every day what an incredible player I think everything that he's done for us is incredible I think it put British tennis on another level and inspired so many kids myself included I think what he's done for this game is above and beyond I have been at the National Training Center since I was 13 years old I was obviously too scared to go up to him and speak to him but I think just even being in the same atmosphere as him you feel his presence you feel he's in there you see what he's doing you see how he's working I think that showed me a lot about how to work I'm sure he's going to be back here in some way possible very very soon and I don't doubt that Draper said I do miss his presence a lot it seems a bit weird not having there with his rancid stinking shoes lying next to me in the locker room on the tour all the GB players have their lockers next to each other and Andy shoes would always be drying out next to me with his wedding ring on it he's mad about getting everything perfect but the one thing that players would say about Andy is very messy which is always very funny you'd have his shoes there his wet grips there his stuff here and I'm trying to move it way give me give me some space to sit down but the world number 25 who faces a tricky first round against Chinese world number 41 Jin Jong on Tuesday added I do obviously feel a responsibility to really play good tennis and be the British number one so I miss Andy but things have to come to an end and hopefully I can keep on going from here and the other players as well I think Andy is happy happy to leave a massive Legacy and move on Ruku who shocked the tennis world by winning the US Open as a qualifier claim she will always do things a little bit differently after deciding to skip the Olympics on Clay to prepare for the US hardcourt season the world number 71 who faces Sophia Kennan in the first round has only played one event in Washington since Wimbledon both Draper and Bolter represented GB in Paris where Murray played his last event in the doubles with Dan Evans world number 33 Bolter who has also suffered injury problems during her career said it was a choice that I made to take that risk basically on whether my performance is going to be good enough here or my body is going to hold up but for me playing the Olympics outweighed everything and I didn't care what the circumstances were going to be I was going to play it and I think a lot of players chose the same thing the Olympics were amazing I don't have words for it I can't describe to you the feeling that we all had when we were out there it was scary fun it's something that I'm going to always remember Bolter faces Belarusian world number 80 Alexandra sasnovich in the first round and that wraps of today's news thank you for watching don't forget to like share and subscribe for more tennis content see you next time
