Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios’ classy tributes to Andy Murray

Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios took to social media to send heartfelt messages to Andy Murray after he announced he is to retire.
Murray has been battling to recover from a long-standing hip injury and on Friday he announced that he will call it a day after Wimbledon this year.
However, he conceded that the Australian Open might be his last tournament as he is not sure he will be able to battle through the pain for another five months.
World No 1 Djokovic took to Instagram saying “what you are trying to do is nothing short of brave and inspiring”.
And then there was “joker” Kyrgios who expressed his appreciation to Murray as the Brit “took him under his wing” when he just started out on the ATP Tour.
