Legacy damaged?: Andy Murray takes on the BBC

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Those who have the damage don’t have to worry about the spot. This currently applies to experienced tennis player Andy Murray (36, ATP 49). The Scot has lost all his last five matches, including the first round exit at the Australian Open.

It is precisely in this situation that the otherwise reserved BBC lashes out at the Scot: “Given his recent performance, the question arises whether the time away from family is really worth it.” The radio station further asks, “Where is the point where he is damaging his legacy?”

Murray responds defiantly to the article. «Legacy damaged? I beg you,” the three-time Grand Slam winner shot back to X. “I’m in a terrible situation right now, that’s true. Most people would give up. But that’s not me, I function differently. I will continue to fight and show the performances I am capable of again.”

Murray on farewell tour?

Yet the young tennis season could become a kind of farewell tour for Murray. “It is very possible that I will never play here again,” he said in Melbourne, where he has lost five finals. He already has certain ideas about when he will retire: “The time frame for this is obviously getting smaller and smaller if you play like I do today.”

Due to chronic hip problems, Murray publicly considered retirement in 2019. A metal hip joint extended his career to this day. (cmu)
