However, the match ended sooner than one could expect. The Frenchman went in all guns blazing, not giving any freebies to his opponent. He won 6-2, 6-4, and advanced to the quarter-finals.

This marked another failed run for Murray, who seems to have lost his confidence as his slump doesn’t seem to end.

Contemplating retirement, the Brit gave a cryptic interview after the match. According to the fans on X, Murray had allegedly stated that he was likely to not play tennis after this summer. 

Recently, the 36-year-old displayed his frustration during the match. He clearly said that this game was not for him anymore, as he lost some easy points, taking the match deeper than he expected. As he approaches the end of his career, Murray is finding it exceptionally hard to get some wins as his streak of losses extends.

Since the last Wimbledon, the Birt has not been able to surpass the second round of a tournament. He has either lost in the second round of the tournament or has not been able to win the first round. In 2024, the Brit has played 6 tournaments till now and has won only 2 matches. 

He recently suffered another major loss at the Dubai Tennis Championships, deepening the wound and hinting at a possible retirement soon enough. 

Surprisingly, Murray has been contemplating retirement for a long time, and during the press interview, he revealed that he would like to play the French Open one last time, hinting at a retirement nearly. 

Considering his standards, he recently won his 500th hard court match, but not before releasing some cryptic message about his retirement.
