His retirement questions resurfaced once again as he failed to make an impact in his best slam.

McEnroe took his humor to a different level by bringing his kids into the discussion. He further added, “Maybe he needs some sleep, I’ve got six kids he’s got four now – trust me, when you play tournaments you get more sleep.” The American suggests that managing so many kids is a task and players receive more sleep while traveling than they do at home. However, Murray’s intention of not retiring was pretty clear prior to the tournament.

Andy Murray wants to go out on his own terms

Before Wimbledon, Murray did not contemplate retirement at all. He was feeling confident and happy with his level. The Briton also loved Roger Federer’s retirement and wanted to go out in a similar way, on his own terms. He does not want his final on-court memories to be a struggling defeat owing to a declining physique.

Considering the fact that Murray wanted a happy retirement, this would not be the final match of his career. However, a heartbreaking loss of this magnitude could certainly change his mind.
