He has not won a title since 2019 and is currently ranked just 68th in the world. The plethora of problems brought on by his injuries have led many to suggest that retirement may not be too far away. But Wilander has suggested he knows what the key factor will be when he decides to eventually hang up his racket. He told TennisHead: “Andy Murray is going to retire the day he walks on the court and plays for 10 minutes and realises ‘I actually don’t give a s**t how this match ends, or how it looks.’ And he’s not going to retire that day because he’s going to finish the match.
“But he’s going to retire very shortly after the first time that he feels that he’s careless about trying to give himself the best chance to play his best tennis and make his opponent the worst possible. That’s the day he’s going to go ‘ok that’s it, I’m done.’” Murray’s desire and passion foir the sport is clear to see as he continues to fight to find his best level of tennis and compete for the biggest titles once again. But once that desire fades away, especially at this stage of the former world number one’s career, it is very difficult to get back – according to Wilander.
“Because there is a switch there that is not reachable. There is no switch that you can control,” the Swede added. “If somebody else switches that switch, suddenly there is a lack of interest, and there is a place in your brain and your heart that you can’t find. You can’t find your way to that part of your brain that is involved in trying to give yourself the best problem-solving.”
