Andy Murray

Resistance now going, will realise even if he won he'd not be able to play the next round, last few games of his career now (outwith a potential Wimbledon bow out)

Gutted as followed his career for years, but kind of knew it was over for him after his reaction to beating marius copil last year, someone he would dispatch half arsed if injury free, he had to give it everything to eek out the win, it brought him to tears as in his heart he knew he'd never get back to where he wanted, such an unlucky player too Murray, not only in the era of the three best ever, when he did reach his peak in 2011-2013 and won a couple grand slams the back injury cut it short and ended up having surgery, took him to near the end of 2015 to get back to his best where djokovic was peaking then his second peak in 2016 where he won 9 titles to get to number 1 and defeat djokovic in the last match of the year to get it, djokovic mentally went away for the next year but Murrays hip flares up so can't take advantage of it and its a career ender in the end

An all time great career, a factor in the discussion of top ten of all time, as what he did in this era is amazing given his peers, any other era he'd have 10 grand slams at a minimum

Such a shame at 31, had he avoided this hip injury then he had many more years in the top of tennis and many more big tournaments in him, what a player, intelligent, tactical, fast, strong, heart, determination and will, if half the footballers in this country had a fraction of what Murray has this country would be producing more than just an Andy Robertson

Also find him to be a good guy with a good sense of humour, if not a bit monotone in his voice and awkward on camera

One of if not Scotlands (and Britain's) greatest sportsman and been a pleasure to watch his career

Good testimony Shedka
