Tennis News: Andy Murray has acknowledged that a perfect conclusion to his professional career may not be in the cards, and he is unsure of whether he will make any formal announcements on his departure from the game.
The 35-year-old lost to fellow Briton Cameron Norrie in the second round of the Western & Southern Open on Wednesday. He won the first set before falling in Cincinnati in three sets as a result of wasted opportunities and cramps.
Serena Williams announced earlier this month she was “evolving away from the sport”, although did not specifically set a retirement date, while Murray has yet to decide how he will handle the end of his career.
“But when I played that match against (Roberto) Bautista (Agut) like I said to my team if that was it and I don’t get to play again, I was more than happy with that being my last match. Because it was an amazing atmosphere, a great match.
“I fought right to the end until I basically could hardly walk at the end and left everything out on the court. For me, that would have been fine with how it finished.”
