Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both reacted to the news of Andy Murray's impending comeback at Queen's Club after reaching the semi-finals. The pair were among those who took part in a farewell video for the Scot at the Australian Open.
Federer added: "It was an emotional moment. I think he just was at a breaking point. I think after we realised he wasn't sure, we were all hoping he would come back."
Nadal added: "I always thought that he will find a way to try to be back, so I'm happy to see that he's going to play again. "

Five-time French Open semi-finalist Gabriela Sabatini was back at Roland Garros on Tuesday and took part in a press conference ahead of receiving the International Tennis Federation's Philippe Chatrier award. She would no doubt have been rather surprised by one question that came her way.
"Which relationship do you have with your body," began the Italian journalist. "Because I remember when you played, you put maybe, to me, too many muscles on you. And now you look perfect." Her reply? A diplomatic "thank you".
Who's up next?
