Andy Murray He was able to say goodbye to professional tennis on his own terms: with Philippe Chatrier in Paris playing to the last point with the British Olympic team. The couple formed by the Scottish tennis player and the Englishman Daniel Evans fell in two sets (6-2 and 6-4) against the American duo consisting of Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz.
However, the final result was the beginning of an emotional and loud applause for a tennis player who was able to compete head-to-head on the stage of the highest brilliance of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic and he added two Olympic golds to his record. And despite all the trials he suffered due to injuries, he was able to retire as he wanted. This Thursday evening, after saying goodbye definitively to tennis after 19 years as a professional, Andy Murray joked on social networks by publishing that “Anyway, I didn’t like tennis”.
After playing his last match as a professional, Murray said he had a clear conscience and that he was retiring from tennis “at the perfect time.”
“It’s been very hard. Physically, pain-wise, I feel bad. Obviously I can go out on the track and compete. We’ve been close to playing for medals, that’s great. But the pain and discomfort I feel in my body. not good”the British declared. “That’s exactly why I’m happy to finish. Because if I keep trying, sooner or later I would end up suffering an injury that would end my career. That’s why I feel like it’s the ideal time to do it.”he concluded.
And the last few months of Murray’s career have been a real test. From the torn ligament in the ankle in March to a surgical intervention on the back, which is the definitive argument to approve the departure from the slopes.
On the other hand, the now former Scottish tennis player made it clear that he was “happy” to end his playing career on his own terms: on the court.
“I feel good. I knew that moment was coming months ago. If not now [jueves], it is one of the following days. Obviously I’m excited because it’s the last time I’ll be competing, but I’m really happy and satisfied with how it turned out. “I’m glad I did it on my own terms because, to be honest, for the last few months I wasn’t sure I was going to retire from the track.”Andy Murray noted.
On the same Thursday evening, in addition to publishing on his personal X account that “He doesn’t like tennis”also took the opportunity to change his biography.
