Andy Murray Could Retire After 2019 Australian Open Due to Hip Injury

Three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray could potentially retire following the conclusion of the 2019 Australian Open due to a lingering hip injury, he told reporters on Thursday.

Murray struggled to speak during an emotional press conference on Thursday, according to Times Sports' Stuart Fraser. Murray briefly left the media room before returning, then explained to media that his intention is to retire following Wimbledon 2019. However, Murray later admitted that the Australian Open could mark the final tournament of his career.

"Wimbledon is where I would like to stop playing, but I am not certain I am able to do that," Murray said, per Fraser.
