Roy Keane has given his verdict on Andy Murray‘s pending retirement from tennis after his emotional farewell to Wimbledon last week.
Murray, 37, is set to bring the curtain down on his decorated career after the Paris Olympics having struggled with injuries over recent years.
The two-time Wimbledon champion was hoping to play in the singles at the All England Club this year, but was unable to prove his fitness after spinal cyst surgery last month.
However, the 37-year-old agreed to play with his brother Jamie in the doubles, while he was also set to take to the court in the mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu, before she pulled out due to injury.
Unfortunately for the Murray brothers, they lost 6-7 (6-8) 4-6 to Australian pair Rinky Hijikata and John Peers in the first round on Centre Court last Thursday, but Murray was honoured afterwards in what was an emotional Wimbledon send-off.
Murray has been hailed across the sporting world in recent days but Keane wasn’t feeling particularly sentimental as he gave his views on the British tennis icon.
‘Andy Murray retiring from tennis isn’t sad news at all,’ he told the Stick To Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.
