Andy Murray was warned retirement may not come on his own terms (Image: Getty) Andy Murray has previously been told he may not be able to retire in the manner he wants with a potential final Wimbledon appearance hanging in the balance. The Scot's return at SW19 could be scuppered by the back injury which forced him to retire from Queen's this week. Tennis icon John McEnroe already warned the two-time Wimbledon-winner he may not be able to have the dream send-off he's envisioning.
If this is to be Murray's final season on the tour circuit, there would be no better farewell than at his most successful Grand Slam. A perfect exit stage right is sure to be easier said than done after Murray has sunk in the ATP rankings, having temporarily climbed back to 36th in 2023. His highest placement since undergoing two career-turning hip surgeries offered hope for a resurgence, but the 37-year-old may soon have to face the reality that inevitably comes for all world-class athletes.
