With an ankle ligament injury threatening to derail the final knockings of his career, Andy Murray will likely end his career at the Olympic Games admits Mats Wilander.
Murray said earlier this season that he was unlikely to play past the Summer, but the ankle injury meant that even playing this summer is in doubt. Figures such as Martina Navratilova believe that he may not come back at all due to the severity of the injury. Murray though never confirmed when his retirement would be albeit stating his want if he can to play a final Olympic Games.
Despite being adored by British fans, Wilander called the Olympic Games instead of Wimbledon the place where he achieved the most success so it makes sense for him to end it there. He has set his stall out for grass by entering warm-up tournaments. This after seeing a specialist, but Wimbledon or Olympic Games, it will be a race against time.
"I'm really, really looking forward to him playing the Olympics, because I hope that if he does quit this year - which I hope he doesn't - I do believe personally that it will happen at the Olympics," said Wilander to Eurosport.
Andy Murray believes he will be ready for grass, but Mats Wilander sees Olympic Games as more likely.
"That's where he's made the biggest impact on British tennis. That's where he has made the most fans and friends in his home nation of Great Britain because he played for his country and he won it twice."
