Andy Murray anounced his retirement after the open of australia 

 

he said it could be his last tournament , so he's not officially retired , btw really sad news for Tennis fans , Murray was a very important member in one of the tennis best eras with the 3 G.O.A.T.S  i hope he could have at least one shot for winning wimbeldon at home

Just to clarify: his main goal seems to be to retire after Wimbledon, not after the Australian Open, he's just not sure if he's able to keep fighting through the pain for 4-5 more months.

Well, those 3 players who are part of the 10-20 best players ever will still be the same without Murray  For most fans I think it won't make much of a difference compared to the past 2 years or something, I don't really remember anything big with Murray ever since the injuries started getting bad.

well i think even the big 3 had some difficult time like this and it lasted for 2 years also with them , so many fans were hoping that Murray could really come back to his best competitive form , we could really miss federer by the end of season , now we have also Murray  i guess that's not good for tennis fans
