Andy Murray<\/a> admits he would give up Centre Court glory if it meant his best friend Ross Hutchins<\/a> won his battle with the life-threatening condition Hodgkin\u2019s Lymphoma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To win Wimbledon<\/a> would fulfil a lifetime\u2019s ambition for Andy Murray.<\/p>\n

But the Scot would willingly trade Centre Court glory on Sunday week if it meant his best mate Ross Hutchins is given the all-clear from cancer.<\/p>\n

Murray \u2013 arguably the most dedicated and talented sportsman our country has ever produced \u2013 said yesterday: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot more to life than playing tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US Open and Olympic champion is desperately hoping Hutchins triumphs in his battle with the life-threatening condition Hodgkin\u2019s Lymphoma.<\/p>\n

The doubles player has just completed a gruelling four-month bout of chemotherapy and will find out in the next few weeks if his body is free of the disease.<\/p>\n

And Murray, who will be best man at Hutchins\u2019s wedding next year, admitted his friend\u2019s fight with cancer has provided him with a real sense of perspective.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cObviously I want to win Wimbledon and tennis means a lot to me, but at the end of the day my career is going to be seven or eight years more hopefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there\u2019s a lot more to your life than just playing tennis. I really hope that Ross gets the all-clear and I\u2019m really confident that he will.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s the way to view it. You want to be as positive as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoss has been great with it and I think all of the people who were looking after him are also pretty confident as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully he\u2019ll get some good news and then he can try to find a way to get back on to the tennis court, because that\u2019s obviously what he loves doing. \u2013 Daily Record<\/a><\/p>\n
