After losing to Andrey Rublev during the Indian Wells tournament, the 36-year-old tennis player stated that they intend to retire in the summer. They added that they do not have any additional information to share on the matter.

People have been inquiring about it for a year and a half now, and while I have considered it, I have not come to a conclusion yet.

After I have made up my mind and clearly stated it, nobody seems to pay attention. It's puzzling why I keep being questioned about it, to be frank (with a smile).

The Scottish athlete promised he wouldn't give up on the game despite being eliminated in the opening matches of the Brisbane International and Australian Open earlier this year.

Currently, I am experiencing a difficult phase, but I acknowledge that. In my present state, numerous individuals might surrender and abandon hope. Nonetheless, I am not like everyone else, and my mentality functions uniquely.

I will not give up. I shall persevere and strive to showcase the abilities that I am confident I possess.

In February, the ex-top ranked player encountered a defeat in the second round from an 18-year-old named Jakub Mensik. During the match, they yelled out, "I'm not cut out for this game anymore."

Minimizing that comment, he stated that "individuals construe a lot from my expressions on the playing field at times and it's not constantly logical".

The person who won at Wimbledon twice before has suggested retiring before. They had already said they would retire in 2019 after surgery on their hip the year before.

Murray had to go through another surgery within the same year, but eventually made a comeback on the court. He declared in December of 2022 that he was only one major injury away from retiring.
