"Another injury could be the end": Murray hopes he hasn't played final Wimbledon, but admits career is ticking time bomb at this point

Former world number one Britain’s Andy Murray has expressed optimism that he will return to Wimbledon next year.

The 36-year-old has struggled with fitness concerns in his career and it was because of this reason he ended up retiring in 2019 after the Australian Open.

However, Murray made a sensational return to top-flight tennis and still playing at the highest level.

The Glasgow-born, while talking to the Times, stated optimism that he will return to playing the Grand Slam in London but also admitted that his body might not be able to recover from another serious injury.

“I don’t want to have played my last match at Wimbledon,” he said. “I’m still planning on continuing. But you never know with my age. Another injury could be the end. You can’t predict it."

Murray has an impressive record while playing at Wimbledon where he won two out of the three Grand Slams.

First of his victory came in 2013 when he defeated the current number two Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the final with a score of 6–4, 7–5, 6–4.

Three years later he once again lifted the title, this time after getting the better of Canada’s Milos Raonic in the final with a score of 6–4, 7–6(7–3), 7–6(7–2).
