Murray bored with repeated retirement questions

Andy Murray has expressed frustration at repeatedly being asked about a possible retirement after laying out his end-of-career master plan only weeks ago.

The 36-year old former No 1 and treble Grand Slam champion, suffered a second-round defeat Friday at the Association of Tennis Professionals-Women’s Tennis Association Indian Wells Masters, losing 7-6 (7/3), 6-1 to fifth seed Andrey Rublev.

Murray, who has been playing with a metal hip since undergoing resurfacing surgery in 2019, said in recent weeks that he wants to play through to an unspecified date in the summer, with some suggesting that his swansong could come at Wimbledon.

In Dubai last month he indicated he hoped to compete in the French Open in May, which would be his first appearance at roland Garros since 2020.
