The world offered messages of thanks and encouragement to Andy Murray after he announced his retirement due to chronic hip pain in a press conference before the Australian Open.
The three-time Grand Slam champion held back tears as he announced that his "endpoint" will be this year's Wimbledon, if he can keep playing that long. Murray has undergone a lengthy recovery process from his hip injury and has struggled with his movement and pain in the last year.
Murray said he would play the Australian Open, where he is scheduled to face No.
