Murray spricht über seinen Plan in Wimbledon seine Karriere zu beenden
January 14, 2019 - Nach einer fünf-Satz Niederlage in der ersten Runde im Australian Open, sagte die frühere Nr.1 der Welt: "Ich wäre okay, wenn das mein letztes Match wird". In einer emotionalen Pressekonferenz vor dem Turnier verriet Murray seinen Wunsch, in Wimbledon die Karriere zu beenden. Er erwähnte auch, dass er unter starken Schmerzen nach der Hüftoperation leidet und eventuell vorzeitig aufhören wird.
As always, Murray left it all out on court, sending fans inside Melbourne Arena into a frenzy as he battled from two sets down against No. 22 seed Roberto Bautista Agut to force a decider.
When he stepped up to the line to serve at 1-5 in the fifth set, with the match approaching the four-hour mark, the crowd gave him a deafening standing ovation.
It’s a memory that Murray and fans around the world will treasure. Murray acknowledged as much as he ponders his next move: waiting to hang up his racquets at Wimbledon, or possibly undergoing another hip surgery to better his long-term quality of life.
