Reflecting on his Miami experience, Murray expressed gratitude for the city’s role in his tennis journey, stating, “Miami has been a special place for me during my career. It’s been my tennis home, really.”

Beyond his sentimental connection to Miami, Murray savored the energetic ambiance of the Butch Buchholz court, relishing the enthusiastic support from the crowd. He acknowledged the spirited atmosphere, particularly against South American opponents, noting the fairness and intensity of the crowd’s support.

With retirement on the horizon, Murray admitted to feeling extra motivation to excel in Miami, recognizing it as his final appearance at the tournament. “Just nice to get another opportunity to play a match here. This is going to be my last time playing in Miami so I want to play well and have good memories,” Murray remarked, underlining his determination to leave a lasting impression in his farewell tour.
