Andy Murray bombs: British tennis player says he may quit tennis after Australian Open leaves | Tennis | Sport

Andy Murray admitted he will consider quitting permanently if he doesn’t recover in the Grand Slam after an Australian open shock loss. The former number one on the world rankings suffered his worst ever big loss in terms of ranking as he dropped 6-4 6-4 6-4 to 120 on the world rankings Taro Daniel.

And the 35-year-old Scot in May has now won just four matches out of five Grand Slam tournaments since his hip resurfacing was his last appearance here in 2019. He then burst into tears at a pre-tournament press conference as he feared his career would end due to chronic hip pain.

Three years and a new hip later, the five-time finalist was asked if he would return to Melbourne Park in 2022. “Yeah, I mean, yeah,” he said. “But not if I do what I did tonight too often this season.

This is a really important year for me for a number of reasons, and I want to perform at very big events. For me, this evening is not good enough in that regard. Getting into the second round of Slam is not particularly motivating in my opinion. I want to do better. I’m really, really disappointed. Very frustrated. Tough loss for me. It’s sure.

“I’m not sure if I’ve lost a match in the past to someone outside of 100 in the slam. So that’s not a big loss for me.

The player who won the lowest place in Murray’s Grand Slam before Daniel was Arnaud Clement, who was ranked 91st in the world in the second round of the 2005 US Open.

Scott said he felt “physically fit,” but that exacerbated yesterday’s slow performance. It was a real culmination after reaching the Sydney finals last week and this opening victory in 21st place from Basilashvili. Murray then felt that he finally had a chance to go “deep run” into the tournament.

Instead, he cut off his edge five times in the qualifiers and took just two of his 11 break points. The Japanese traveler attacked Scotland’s second pass and shot more than 46 winners in his inspired performance.

Murray threw his racket into the net in frustration – and French referee Aurelie Tourte warned him about the racket – breaking for the last time in a 4-4 situation.

And Daniel took his first match point after two hours and 48 minutes with his first pass and volleyball of the match

Prior to his planned return to Doha and Dubai next month, he is tasked with finding a soul, including the permanent appointment of German coach Jan De Witt.

First he returns to his wife Kim and their four children. “I can go home now and spend time with them,” he said.

“My family has been a little sore last week. Apparently when that’s the case, you also want to be involved in helping and experiencing your part.”
