ANDY MURRAY has said he would like to take part in a remake of the old TV programme Superstars – but is not at all sure he would be any good at it.

Stars from different sports, such as footballer Kevin Keegan and judo player Brian Jacks, took part in the original show in the 1970s, competing in a variety of events.

Tennis players are usually reckoned to be among the fittest athletes on the planet, but Murray thinks he may not have the range of skills to come out on top.

“I’d like to do it and would find it fun,” Murray said. “I’ve heard a lot about it, but I haven’t seen it. I’ve seen they’ve done some spin-offs – one-off shows.

“I don’t know whether I would fancy myself at it, but I’d find it fun. For tennis, you have to be good at a lot of things.

“But my speed on the tennis court is because I am quick over two or three metres, or changing direction. But over a 50-metre or 100-metre race I am not going to be particularly quick in comparison to some football players or some rugby players – anything like that.

“I suppose we are used to being very versatile. There are a lot of different skills that you have to train for in tennis in terms of the strokes – forehands, backhands, serves, returns, smashes, drop shots.

“Different spins, different surfaces – you are not playing on the same surface every time. And different opponents every couple of days, which can be challenging tactically. But in terms of our physical skill set – we would have to be good at a lot of things without necessarily being good at one thing.”

Murray hardly needed his full range of skills in his last match against Robin Haase, beating the Dutchman 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 in less than 90 minutes.

He will need to up his game when he plays Andreas Seppi today in the third round, but he is confident he is ready for anything the 31-year-old can throw at him.

“I am motivated to play against everybody,” he added. “I will be ready.”

Almost every player every year is thrilled when they are told they are playing on Centre Court at Wimbledon, especially when they are up against one of the big names.

But Seppi, who has lost his last six matches against Murray, did not seem too impressed when asked if he thought this could become his biggest-ever win.

“I think maybe beating Roger in Australia is bigger,” he said, referring to his victory over Federer in the third round at this year’s Australian Open. “Because it’s Roger.”

Asked how far a win over Murray would be ranked below that achievement, he replied: “It’s a very big jump.”

But, having said that, Seppi did admit that he would not find it easy against the Scot. “It’s going to be for sure a tough match. He won here a few years ago and he always plays well. I’ve lost the last matches always against him.

"I have nothing to lose. I am playing well, so I will enjoy it. His game is better than mine when he’s 100 per cent. That is why he won the last few matches.

“The last match I played against him, on clay, was a good match. I lost in straight sets, but I felt I was there.

“It will be different on grass. He likes this surface more. I’m feeling well and hopefully I can put some pressure on him.

“He has the crowd behind him. He likes to play here, it’s his home town. He has done pretty well in the past here. It’s difficult to beat him.”

Never mind his preference for Federer – Seppi will be ecstatic all right if he does beat Murray this afternoon.

In fact, he might even feel like a bit of a superstar himself.
