"Will take a little while to get over": Murray not ruling out Tsitsipas loss being final Wimbledon appearance
ATPSaturday, 08 July 2023 at 09:30
Former world number one Britain's Andy Murray has expressed
disappointment after the second-round exit at Wimbledon.
The 36-year-old suffered a heartbreaking defeat in a thrilling five-setter against Greece’s
Stefanos Tsitsipas in the round of 64 with a score of 7-6, 6-7, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4
on Friday.
Describing his feeling after the match, the three-time Grand
Slam winner stated that he is ‘very disappointed’.
"I'm obviously very disappointed just now,” said
Murray. Yeah, obviously you never know how many opportunities you're going to
get to play here. Yeah, the defeats maybe, yeah, feel a bit tougher. But, to be
honest, every year that Wimbledon's not gone how I would like, it's been hard.”
Murray’s future has been under the focus for a long time as
he has struggled with injuries over the recent past.
Talking about that, the Glasgow-born stated that he has no
plans to ‘stop right now’ but admitted that he no idea about whether he will
take the field at Wimbledon next year.
"I don't know [if I will come back to Wimbledon],” he
said. “Yeah, motivation is obviously a big thing. Continuing having early
losses in tournaments like this don't necessarily help with that. Yeah, it's
similar to I guess last year.
“I had a long think about things, spoke to my family,
decided to keep on going. I don't plan to stop right now. But, yeah, this one
will take a little while to get over. Hopefully find the motivation again to
keep training, keep pushing, try and keep getting better.”
Murray has not won a major title since 2016 and has not
reached the stage of quarterfinals or semifinals since 2017.
Since then, the 2013 and 2016 Wimbledon champion has
participated in 11 Grand Slam events where he suffered three first-round, five
second-round and three third-round exits.
