Andy Murray has spelled out the dirty details of any possible retirement scenario, with the Scot channelling theoretical gloom and doom on the eve of Wimbledon.
The two-time champion at the All England Club who dropped to 839th in the world after a pair of hip operations, has driven his ranking back to 38th through half a decade of tireless injury rehab while increasingly testing the waters on court.
But the 36-year-old is not prepared to go through that kind of rehab agony again.
“If I was to have another big injury or if something happened to the metal hip that would be me finished,” the former No. 1 told Sky Sports as he prepares for next Monday’s start of hostilities at SW19.
“I wouldn’t try to come back from another operation or major surgery again so I want to keep playing a bit longer.
“I know it’s not going to be going on forever but I have an idea of when I would like to finish and it’s not this year’s Wimbledon.”
Murray lifted the Wimbledon trophy in 2013 and 2016; he will be playing his home major for the 15th time.
