Andy Murray is currently trying to resurrect his career and while it is not going well he is defiant against those calling for him to hang it up.
Andy Murray is currently trying to come back to the highest level of tennis after undergoing major surgery in 2019. It has not been a smooth ride and Murray has struggled against players that are far from being considered the best in the world prompting many to call for his retirements. One prominent occurrence of that was when Mats Wilander urged him to stop taking Wild Cards and retire instead at the French Open last year. Andy is not having any of it firing back at the critics:
"Why should I stop? Because I lost a match last week against someone [Egor Gerasimov] that people would expect me to win against? The guy is a good player. He pushed David Goffin, who ended up winning a tournament, really close."
Andy continued by further saying:
"Everyone out there can play. I’m not on the top of my game just now – and when I get there I believe I’ll win matches more competitively – but why should I stop? Tell me a good reason why I should stop playing?"
He wrapped up by reiterating his belief that he can still compete with the best in the world despite only having one hip:
"I can still compete with the best players in the world with one hip. I think that’s quite amusing really.”
