Andy Murray, who lost to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final, said he never believed that the Swiss was slipping. The 30-year-old won his record 17th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, but he hadn’t won a major title in the previous two-and-a-half years.
"A lot of people have been asking me, ‘Has he started slipping? Is he not playing as well?’ If you look at the matches he lost the last couple years, very, very close matches, matches he definitely could have won," Murray said. "You know, he could be sitting on 20 Grand Slams if one point or a couple inches here or there. So he's still playing great tennis. I don't think you get to No. 1 unless you deserve it."
