Andy Murray officially reveals when he’ll retire from tennis!
The British champion has disclosed when he plans to end his professional career.
In the second round of the BNP Paribas Open, Andy Murray faced Andrey Rublev and had to concede after a strong first-round victory over the Belgian David Goffin. With his dominant style, the Russian completely outclassed his opponent. So in the second round, the Scot’s road to Indian Wells came to an end.
It seems like Andy has been plagued by the age-old question of whether or not to retire from tennis in recent weeks. Yes, during the past few months. Murray has been bombarded with the same question by the British media for weeks now, as only they can handle their athletes, for better or worse.
“When are you retiring?”Andy has been annoyed at himself for answering this question over and over. Judy, his mother, took his side too.
Murray’s decision to retire appears to have been influenced by all of these questions. As an alternative, I would advise Andy to “enjoy his career, whether it lasts for ten years or just one more day, and forget about those who stress you out with the same questions.” It’s their job, but it’s getting to be an obsession, okay?

However, the question of his future was raised following the match against Rublev, just like it was at every press conference. The impatient former number one has stated in recent weeks that he has already considered his retirement date, which is most likely going to be in the summer.
The media pressed him once more on this occasion in an attempt to elicit additional specific details. No room for interpretation in the response from the three-time slam champion.
I have no doubt that every player looks back after he finishes a game and wishes he had done something better or different. I thought my performance was excellent. I put forth a lot of effort and worked hard. Due to incompetence or bad choices, I haven’t missed too many training days.
I can’t think of too many regrets from this perspective. It was a decent performance overall, he said, although there were undoubtedly certain games and other things, possibly decisions I regret and wish I had a second chance at.
Subsequently, he elaborates, verifying his previous remarks about retiring.
“The summer is when I want to finish.” There are no more words that I can say. About 18 months have passed since they first asked. Though I haven’t decided yet, I have obviously given it some thought. I told them so once I made up my mind, but no one would listen. I don’t really know why they ask me that so much, to be honest,” he said.
