I Used to Cry at Night” — Andy Murray’s Emotional Look Back on His Toughest Years!
In a moving recent interview, Andy Murray opened up about the darkest stretch of his career — a time marked by loneliness, pain, and nights spent quietly crying himself to sleep.
“People saw me playing,” Murray shared. “But they didn’t see me in hotel rooms at 2 a.m., awake, hurting, and asking if it was worth it.”
At the height of his hip injury struggles, Murray says physical agony blended with mental exhaustion. “It wasn’t just pain,” he explained. “It was the fear that it might never stop — that I’d never play again.”
The hardest moments came far from cameras: endless physio appointments, missed family time, and the crushing thought that everything he’d built could disappear overnight. “I felt powerless,” he admitted softly. “Some nights, I really did just cry.”
Yet those same nights forged a different strength. Murray described slowly learning to open up — to family, to teammates, even to himself. “Admitting I was scared was harder than facing a rival,” he reflected.
Fans reacted with empathy, many saying his vulnerability made them respect him even more. For a champion whose image has often been stoic, these words offered a glimpse of the human cost behind the comeback headlines.
Murray’s story reminds us that greatness isn’t defined by never breaking down — but by having the courage to get up again, tears and all.
And sometimes, the bravest thing a champion can do… is admit they cried.
