Andy Murray is a well-known professional tennis player from Glasgow, Scotland, he is currently ranked number 229 in men’s singles.

  Over his long career he has won three Grand Slam Titles and two Olympic medals that prove him to be one of the most hardworking players in the sport.

  Murray recently announced his retirement during a press conference in Melbourne, Australia early this month.

  His retirement comes from a tough battle with a hip injury that has restricted him since June 2016.

   The pain has affected Murray greatly to the point where a simple task such as putting on shoes and socks is painful for the former number 1 player.  

  His team is supportive of his decision after he broke the news to them during the off-season training in December 2018.

   Fans have tweeted out in support of him as well as other tennis players including Billie Jean King who responded, “You are a champion on and off the court.

  So sorry you cannot retire on your own terms, but remember to look to the future.

  Your greatest impact on the world may be yet to come.

  Your voice for equality will inspire future generations.

  Much love to you and your family.”

He plans to retire after the 2019 Wimbledon tournament, that is held annually in the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.
