In his post-match interview, Murray was asked if he was considering retirement to which he said, “It’s a difficult one, When I had the injury problems a few years ago and didn’t know whether I was going to be able to play, I maybe always envisaged finishing my career in the UK or whatever. “There is part of it I think when you announce that you’re retiring that I would imagine psychologically it’s quite difficult, as well. There is a lot of pressure then, I think because you want to perform and because it’s the last couple of tournaments.”
“Just the whole situation puts a lot of stress on the performance, So I don’t know whether I would announce something or whether I would just stop and that would be it. I don’t know.”
