Andy Murray recently shared his thoughts on retirement. The 37-year-old, whose career has been marred by a hip injury, doesn’t like to hang up his racket, but he doesn’t want to keep playing after the Wimbledon or the Paris Olympics either.

Murray, however, has not confirmed which tournament would be his last. If he stays fit to make it to the Olympics, then he wouldn’t want to extend his stay on the courts.

Probably, if I was going to finish my career I would rather finish at Wimbledon or, an Olympic Games - to me, that would probably be more fitting. I've had amazing experiences and memories of Wimbledon, but also being part of the British Olympic teams. 
Andy Murray told BBC Sport at Queen’s Club

Murray is a two-time Wimbledon champion, having won the title in 2013 and 2016. While playing for Team GB, Murray won two Olympic gold medals as well, both in singles, in 2012 and 2016 in London and Rio.

Andy Murray is not excited about retiring from tennis 

Andy Murray‘s love for tennis is clearly visible, given that even the career-threatening hip injury could not stop him from doing what he is passionate about. However, the only reason why Murray will be bidding farewell to the game is his physical fitness. In that same interview with BBC Sport, Murray explained what he thinks about retirement.

I think in lots of careers, retirement is something you celebrate and people really look forward to that day – that's not something I feel. I love playing tennis. Ultimately, if you're physically able to play to the level you want to, the results are not as you wish. Those things factor into the decision.
Andy Murray said 

The 37-year-old doesn’t want to play in the US Open, where he won his first of the three Grand Slam titles in 2012. He is currently participating in the Queen’s Club Championships, which he won five times in singles matches. He will kick-start his campaign by locking horns with Australia’s Alexei Popyrin on June 18.
