Briton speaks out
Murray: Career likely to end at Wimbledon or Paris
It is quite possible that 37-year-old Andy Murray will end his successful career at Wimbledon or at the Olympic Games. The three-time major winner and two-time gold medalist had already said last February that it was unlikely that he would continue playing after the summer.
"I'd rather retire at Wimbledon or the Olympics, that would probably be more fitting," the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympic champion told BBC Sport.
Olympic nomination as motivation
However, as Wimbledon is scheduled from July 1 to 14 and the Scot was only nominated for the Games in Paris on Sunday, a departure at Wimbledon seems unlikely. "I had great experiences and memories at Wimbledon, but having the chance to be part of the British Olympic team for a fifth time is a motivator to keep playing," said the former world number one.
"In many careers, retirement is something you celebrate and look forward to. That's not how I feel, I love playing tennis," Murray assured.
