Andy Murray is ready to play Wimbledon, tournament which he has already won twice during his glorious career. He has said this in multiple interviews, especially when the clay season didn’t go as well as he expected. He reiterated this when he won back-to-back Challenger titles, also in England.
Age and injuries, however, would also lead one to think that this, although it could be a competitive edition, could also be the last Wimbledon of his career. The 3-time Grand Slam champion talked about this issue during an interview with Sky Sport.
He explained: “My last Wimbledon? I hope not, but you never know. That’s why athletes need to make the most of it while still being able to. I know it won’t last forever but I have an idea of when I would like to finish and it’s not Wimbledon of this year.
I don’t know exactly what tournament it will be or where it will be. I just have an idea of how much more I’d like to play, I feel I can play at a high level for a couple more years. I want to finish on my terms.”
Andy Murray also talks about his possible retirement, citing Roger Federer
In the same interview, Andy Murray speculated about how his retirement should play out.
Not sure how it will happen, but the British tennis player underlined that what we don’t expect isn’t always better than what reality offers us: see the example of Roger Federer. He told: “There is no right or wrong way to finish your career and it is always very difficult for athletes.
Many people would have said that the best way for Roger Federer to finish would be at Wimbledon but I thought the way he finished his career on the Laver Cup court in Doubles with Rafael Nadal surrounded by some of the greats of the game was brilliant.” We recall Wimbledon will start this weekend with Murray as one its much awaited stars, along with Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
