Andy Murray insists ending career at Wimbledon may not happen
Andy Murray would love to end his tennis career at Wimbledon in front of the British crowd, but he may play his last match in a career at the Australian Open, already on Monday against Roberto Bautista Agut. Until a week ago, Murray confessed, he was planning to play through until Wimbledon. However, his mind has changed.
'I said I think I can manage this because I have been playing through pain for a long time and there's no reason I can't do it for another five months, knowing there's an endpoint', said Murray. 'But when I got here I thought I am tired of it and don't really want to have another five months of that pain. That's when I started discussing having something like that done. I would seriously consider having an operation because day-to-day life is not fun. I can't do stuff I would want to do, even if I wasn't a professional athlete. I want to go and play football with my friends or go and play 18 holes of golf and enjoy doing that. Look, at the end of the day, it is only tennis, it's just a game. Whatever. There is more to life. For many reasons, it's been more than that for me. Obviously stopping the way it's happened doesn't sit particularly well with me. It's not how I would want to finish playing.'
