He talks about “the last few months”: has Andy Murray announced his second resignation?

Will Andy Murray end his career after the current season? There is no other way to understand his statements after the victory (4:6, 7:6 (7:5), 6:3) against Denis Shapovalov.

He still loves the game and the competition, but “probably won’t have it for much longer,” Murray is quoted by Eurosport. “I am going to do my best in the last few months,” continues the 36-year-old Scot. A retirement announcement couldn’t have been much clearer if Murray hadn’t also said that “people interpret a lot in what I say on the field.”

Second dismissal after 2019

With the victory over Shapovalov, Murray reached a milestone that only four other players achieved in the Open Era: Like Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Agassi, Murray has reached 500 victories in his career on the hard court tour. “Not many players have achieved that, so it’s great to get to 500 before I retire,” says Murray, probably aware that he, who first announced his retirement in 2019 due to hip problems, is the one He should enjoy the last moments of his career.

Murray continues his farewell tour in the round of 16 against Ugo Humbert, but after a two-set defeat his tournament is over. Murray also expressed hope to the BBC that he could participate in the Olympic Games in the summer. That also seems like an ideal ending to a wonderful career – but without wanting to interpret too much in Murray’s words.
