"Andy Murray will retire when he stops caring" - Mats Wilander about Murray

The retirement of Andy Murray has been a topic that resurfaces every other month when the British player produces a weak performance in a match.

In an exclusive interview with tennishead.net Mats Wilander explained how he knows the exact moment when the British player will retire. According to Wilander, it has very little to do with his physical abilities or age or anything else. He said:

"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."

Wilader continued:

“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.’

It's something Wilander understands well and that's why he added:

“Because there is a switch there that is not reachable. There is no switch that you can control. 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.”
