Murray believes 2023 Australian Open could be his final one: "With the age that I'm at and the injury history and stuff in the last few years"

Andy Murray went away from his usual hardline stance of playing tennis in an interview recently admitting that this year's Australian Open could be his last.

The British player generally maintained a stance that he'll play on and while he's still of that opinion, he's far more accepting of the fact that it could really be the last time. Murray spoke with 9News confirming that he'll play as long as his body permits him to though he's unsure how long that will be:

"So long as my body is okay and I'm healthy, then I'll continue to compete. There's a chance that might be the last time, with the age that I'm at and the injury history and stuff in the last few years."

There are several factors of what that is but a strong one are his kids that are growing up without a dad being present all the time: "The kids don't want to talk to me on Facetime anymore. I don't know if that's their way of punishing me."

Murray's season began with a defeat to Sebsatian Korda.
