Andy Murray said he hopes to retire this season after Wimbledon, but acknowledged he might not make it to that point.
Murray, 31, spoke through tears at a press conference in the lead-up to the Australian Open, citing a painful hip injury that is “not allowing me to enjoy any of the stuff that I love about tennis.”
“I can still play to a level, [but] not a level I’m happy playing at,” he said. “The pain is too much.”
Murray said he had been dealing with a hip injury for years but the pain has worsened in the last 20 months, making day-to-day tasks, like walking and putting on socks, uncomfortable.
