Former world No. 1 Andy Murray has revealed that watching Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma” prompted him to delete his Twitter and Instagram accounts. Murray, who has had a tough few months when many called him to retire, recently deleted his accounts on Twitter and Instagram.
Only the messages he received weren’t the reason the Scotsman decided to step away from social media. In the documentary “The Social Dilemma”, former employees of major social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram described how every step on the Internet is tracked.
“I don’t have Twitter on my phone and I deleted Instagram last week,” Murray said, according to The Telegraph. “Not because of it [les commentaires au sujet de sa retraite].
You see these things on Instagram and social media if you’re on it, obviously, and if you have the app on your phone. “But I watched this movie about the social dilemma some time ago.
I thought it was great and then a few days after my game last week I watched an interview with all the people who were responsible for doing this and I thought, Yeah, I’m done. “
Murray won his first ATP game of the season
Last Monday, three-time Grand Slam champion Murray recovered from a set to beat Robin Haase in the Rotterdam first round, and to claim his first Tour victory since August 2020.
“It’s not easy. I feel like I’m playing for my career right now, every time I get on the court, which is motivating in some ways,” said Murray.
“But it also adds a bit of extra stress. There is a little extra doubt in there and on top of that I play with a metal hip which is difficult.
Believe me, it is not easy. So this is a big challenge for me at the moment and one that I will face head-on, but it is not easy at the moment. The last few months have been a bit difficult ”
