Two-time Wimbledon-winner Andy Murray could be set to compete at SW19 for the final time as he edges towards retirement. That’s according to a new poll, in which only a quarter of those surveyed believe he’ll return in 2023.
Murray, 35, first announced in January 2019 that he was considering retirement due to the daily pain caused by a long-standing hip injury. The Scot had corrective surgery that year, however, and miraculously managed to extend his career at the top level.
The decision has proved worthwhile after Murray recently rose back to No. 47 in the ATP rankings, breaking back into the world’s top 50 for the first time since 2018. His major record remains patchy, however, having featured in just seven of the past 18 Grand Slams and failing to advance beyond the third round in any of those.
Following Express Sport’s latest poll, the majority of readers believe retirement could be nigh, with 46.3 per cent in agreement this year’s Wimbledon will be Murray’s last. Just under a quarter of the 3,795 polled believe he’ll be back for 2023, while 28.9 per cent said they weren’t sure.
