Sir Andy Hints at Retirement in the Summer
One of Sir Andy Murray’s favourite sporting places is definitely not one of mine. It’s Florida and I have to admit I never enjoyed going there. Admittedly I’ve only ever been to the Everglades State to work. I filmed shows about the now old rockers, Creed and Limp Bizkit,if you want to know. But Sir Braveheart himself loves it there and he almost made the fourth round at the Miami Open. The warrior Flying Scot battled for three hours and 28 minutes, but eventually to no avail as a new ankle injury impacted the result. Sir Andy was playing the talented youngster Tomas Machac. Andy has admitted that he doesn’t anticipate playing on much after the summer, when he has hopes of playing doubles in the Olympics. Or perhaps he might bow out at Wimbledon, but I won’t be there as this year I lost out on the ballot for tickets.
The Great Scot is now an amazing 36 years old and the Olympics may be his goal as he is the only male tennis player in history to win two gold medals in the singles. In 2012 he got Silver in the mixed doubles and he was as mad as heck not to get the Gold. If he were to play in Paris his most likely partner would be multi Grand Slam Doubles winner Joe Salisbury, but it is no slam dunk with a slew of good British tennis players at the moment, even though none of them are in the current ATP top 30. Cameron Norrie gets in at 31 and Sir Andy’s current ranking is a depressing number 62. But Andy remains my hero and if you haven’t seen the documentary on his new metal hip, you really should. I bandy terms like warrior around, but Murray is a very brave man and his coming retirement is worth marking.
