Andy Murray trails Yannick Hanfmann at rain-hit Geneva Open 2024

Tennis star Andy Murray was recently saved by a rainstorm when he trailed unseeded Yannick Hanfmann 7-5, 4-1 in the first round of the game on Monday. Notably, the star player needed a win to face Novak Djokovic in the next game of the Geneva Open in 2024. However, Murray and Djokovic both got the chance to attend the last clay-court event to prepare for the French Open 2024, and they are slated to meet in the second round. Both star players have not faced each other on the tour since 2017.

Meanwhile, Andy Murray was struggling in his first tour game in the two months when heavy rain and strong winds swept into the court. However, after some time, Hanfmann broke down his services in a straight row to take the lead of 4-1 with his services.  Andy Murray found some big services later to get out of trouble with nine games as he went on to save two break points.

But I think as long as he has passion and feels competitive, he will continue: Stan Wawrinka

The Swiss champion Stan Wawrinka believes that Andy Murray will not retire yet. 

"It is normal that we are asked these questions. As for him, I'm not sure he'll stop this summer. I think he made the announcement in the heat of the moment after losing a game, but I'm not sure he'll stop this summer. I think it's because he is passionate about the game and has mixed feelings depending on the outcome. It's not easy to manage emotions. But I think as long as he has passion and feels competitive, he will continue," he said.
