A few days before taking part in his fifteenth Wimbledon tournament, Andy Murray spoke about the subject of his end of career. If he assures that it is not for this year, the Scotsman concedes that he wants to play for a few more years and wants to bow out at the highest level.
Andy Murray does not hide it. He is closer to the end than the beginning of his career. But, while he is going to take part in his fifteenth Wimbledon, the one who has won the London Grand Slam twice assures that he does not consider the moment of hanging up his racket anytime soon, he who has gone through years of doubt due to a sore hip. ” I don’t hope it will be my last Wimbledon but you never knowsaid the Scotsman in an interview with Sky News. This is why athletes must do their best as long as they are able because, if I seriously injure myself again or something happens to my prosthesis, it would be over. I won’t try to come back after another operation so I want to play a little longer. “If he admits that the time on the circuit is counted for him, Andy Murray is already thinking about his exit. ” I have an idea of how I want to end my career and it’s not this edition of Wimbledon “, he said. Conceding that he does not know “exactly in which tournament it will happen”, Andy Murray thinks in terms of “additional time” during which he wishes to play.
Murray: “I want to choose my exit”
“I don’t want to find myself in a situation comparable to that experienced before the operation,” he adds. I want to choose my exit. I want to finish my career on the court feeling like I’m still doing myself justice and playing at a really high level. I definitely feel like I could do this for a few more years. As for how to retire, Andy Murray says that, in his opinion, “there is no right or wrong way to end your career and it is something that is always difficult for athletes “. Taking a cue from Roger Federer, the Glasgow native disagrees with those who say “it would have been Wimbledon” regarding the man who made London grass his backyard. ” I think the way he ended his career, in a doubles match with Rafael Nadal surrounded by some of the greatest players in our discipline was brilliant “, he added.
Murray doesn’t want to stop ‘too soon’
Highlighting the fact that “Serena Williams stopped after a good run at the US Open” and not wanting to speak about the possible exit of Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray says there ‘is no one way to do it’ and it is up to everyone to make their choice. Concerning him, the former world number 1 admits to having already “exchanged with many former players”, some of whom, like Ivan Lendl, were in his close entourage. “I told them about the end of their career and how they realized it was over for them,” Andy Murray recalled. Almost everyone said to me: ‘Play as much as you can, nothing will replace that. These are the best years of your life so try to make the most of them‘. Assuring that he is “aware of everything (he has) been able to go through”, the Scotsman concedes that he does not want to stop “too soon” or weaken. ” I don’t want to stop on an injury that makes me unable to play properly “, he concluded. We can therefore expect to see the player with three Grand Slam titles roam the courts around the world for some time to come.
