"Hope it doesn't end with a rolled ankle": Andy Murray should go out on his own terms instead of injured says James Blake
ATPTuesday, 02 April 2024 at 14:30
Andy Murray will face a race against time in order to reach Wimbledon and have his landmark farewell after a horrific ankle ligament injury suffered at the Miami Open and tournament director and former top player, James Blake shared his hope that he will get to go out on his own terms.
Albeit that is easier said than done a lot of the time with Roger Federer a leading example of a player who didn't get to end his career how he wanted. Murray was playing some of his best tennis at the Miami Open, but suffered disaster against Tomas Machac despite playing through to its conclusion.

The former World No.1 was lauded by James Blake and how he is as a human as well as a tennis player being the forefront of his attentions as he heads towards winding down his career.
"I want to see him get back and end his career the way he wants to end his career. I hope it doesn’t end with a rolled ankle, I really want to see him back and I want to see him end his career however he sees fit." said Blake to Sky Sports.
"Andy is one of my favourite people on tour, he definitely makes me feel like a slacker the fact that he’s still out there playing and competing. Watching the match, even when he got injured he still finished the match 7-6 in the third. You see how hard he competes and how much he loves the game."
"And he’s so thoughtful about his career and everything else so that’s why he’s one of my favourites. I tell people all the time, he’s not the surly guy you see on the court, he’s actually a genuinely nice human being, funny, easygoing."
