Too much wear and tear for the leg end.

That was the reason he was in tears the other night. He knows himself that he cannot go on like this

He's had a decent career and shouldn't be ashamed
I will always rank his US Open win as his best, to come back from so many set backs in finals, not to mention having a 2 set lead and being pegged back, took some guts and determination He will never be ranked alongside the other 3 though, but he's had a successful career none the less, he was probably Scotlands Andy Roddick, just bumped into a ridiculously good era. Roddick only having 1 slam is frightening, should have have won 5+ imo, but kept bumping into Federer |

Where is this being reported?

By:
Been a lot of speculation but other than the odd 'Is Murray finished' question being asked by the media I've read nothing concret
|

By:
There were some quotes the other day from him about how he considered it during his rehab and has had a lot
of time to consider his future after he does quit. It's definitely possible as he was certainly limping toward the end of his last match & then had his wee meltdown so can understand speculation after but still early days after a year out. |

By:
I really feel for him, I'm obviously not a pro athelete but I've a sports injury that just will NOT heal properly. It's so frustrating.
My mind is there but the ****ing body won't obey. I totally get it for the guy. |

By:
Maybe you should go to your local shopping centre and have a public crying session might help Andy seems to think so anyway.

Why mock him Denzil? Guys a great sportsman and sometimes gets emotional. So what?
|

By:
When over 100 people die every minute who gives a fcuk about a multi millionaire Tennis player crying because he has a bad hip not me certainly,attention seekers shouldn't be applauded imo.

Attention seeker? You know nothing of the man, that's not in his make-up.
Seeing as you mentioned people dying did you know he was at Dunblane on the day of the massacre and that his class was on the way to the gym where it happened when the first shots were fired? He rarely ever comments on it and certainly in no great detail. Who knows what that did to him but heh you don't care because he's made money. |

Sports betting forum has someone speaking about important sports event and another try to take moral high ground about the pointlessness of sports.
I think I've read it all now :) Deuce on a chest. |

You can read the story there. He was 8 and his brother, who was also there, was 10. A horrible event for anyone to be caught up in I'm sure you'll agree. |

By:
I know but what's that got to do with public crying because of a bad hip?
If anything after what he's been through you'd think he'd be above that sort of thing. I like Andy's views on drugs in sport and TUE's he's had plenty published views over the years shame there weren't more like him just don't like the public crying thing too in keeping with modern life for me. |
|
By:
I don't think it was the hip injury in itself but the possibility of his career coming to an end.
Tennis is all he's known from an early age. Again I ask what's the problem with the guy becoming emotional? |
|
By:
As regards Dunblane nobody knows what mental scars that's left him with.
As regards If anything after what he's been through you'd think he'd be above that sort of thing. He was 8 years old when it happened and only spoke about it for the first time a few years back. He's obviously bottled it up for years. I think it explains a lot. |

By:
yea, just retire. good career, clearly overachieved for his genetics. hang up the racket

Could he not have waited til he was out of public gaze? These people are in the public eye their whole lives and constantly control their perceived actions why cry in public? We've all had bad times in life public displays of 'woe is me' are attention seeking in line with toddler tantrums or any person who loses their mobile phone #sympathy. |

Ridiculous to assume he's attention seeking FFS. He's not a wannabee reality tv star desperate for five minutes of fame. He's a sportsman who has achived incredible things with great talent and great determination. It's the media and the public reporting the story who are the attention seekers

Murray put the towel over his head so nobody could see him bawl, during his year out he didn't appear on an endless array of low brow TV shows trying to be popular, he generally stays out of the limelight and one thing he doesn't do is look to be the centre of attention, very seldom argues with umpires or smashes racquets either. He's a huge credit to British sport and it's a crying shame he found himself in the golden era of Tennis with the 3 other Greatest Tennis players of all time - at the same time, otherwise he'd have well over 10 slams by now, I think those 3 between them must have Knocked him out of slams close to 20 times or there abouts, still he's managed to win 3 slams, 2 Gold medals, 1 Davis Cup and World number 1 as well as winning more masters events than Sampras whilst reaching all 4 Slam finals, something not even Sampras did.
atm he's feeling his way back, you can't just get back into the full swing of things in terms of match fitness and form, his goal really should be to use the rest of this year in preparation for next season which starts in January and if that means missing US Open he should do if bo3 what his body can handle atm, by Australia he should be fully prepared to play bo5. I get casuals not getting Murray because in soundbites he appears dull, dreary with brattish mannerisms on court because he's so intense and has such an urge to win, but the more avid, hardcore fans will tell a different story, if you watch the tour all year round and see the thousand more interviews he gives off a completely different impression, very funny, dry sense of humour who's very thoughtful and articulate in his analysis of the game. I'm not Scottish by the way  |

Attention seeker?
