The tennis world should slowly come back to life in August. In addition, US Open and deferred Roland Garros grand slams are on the agenda. However, none of this is likely to affect 33-year-old Murray.
“I believed I could still show up at the grand slam, but the coronavirus pandemic took away my hope. I’m old for top tennis, it’s too late to return, my days are numbered,” said the two-time Olympic champion with sadness in his voice.

However, the main reason for the grand slam farewell is not the health problems, but the coronavirus break. “It’s ruining me, I’m frustrated. On the one hand, I want to come back terribly, on the other I know it’s not possible after such a long break.”
Wimbledon was the target
Andy Murray planned his farewell to the Big Four tournament at this year’s Wimbledon, but the famous event was canceled without compensation.
“I lost the tournament I love the most and I probably won’t be able to come back here as an active player. I also miss traveling the world, I miss tennis as a whole,” adds the two-time Wimbledon winner.
