Andy Murray
Sad to see the state he was in during the interview with the press in Australia. It must be devastating for anybody, in any job they love, to realise that it won't be possible to continue doing it at the age of just 31. He's not the first sportsman to have his body give up on him and won't be the last.
Love him or loathe him, I don't think anybody can deny he is the greatest tennis player that these islands have produced. His record of achievement is unmatched. He may not be Mr Personality, and his voice is flat, but that doesn't diminish what he has achieved. Hopefully he will be able to move onto something equally fulfilling in the future.

Nobody in sport stays at the top for long,, as you say, their bodies give up on them.
I guess he'll become a "pundit" on TV before long.
I hope he takes a while to sit back, relax, enjoy his family, gain perspective and then finds something useful to do whether it be tennis management, coaching, sports equality or punditry tho i'm not convinced his speaking voice or delivery to date lend themselves to commentary and interviewing.
I agree with Obelixx, l can't see him being a good TV pundit with his somewhat monotone voice, but hopefully he will find something connected with tennis that he can enjoy in the future and l wish him well.
Even when he stops, he'll need other work done [bone shaving] just to keep him pain free in the 'ordinary' world.
He's made people very proud, especially in Scotland, and I for one, feel priviledged to have been around to watch him succeed at the highest level through the last decade or so.
He's only 31, he can always get a job doing something else. He's lucky to have been able to earn a huge sum of money doing something he loves.Not many of us can claim the same.

For those interested in sport and wealth, who is the world’s richest footballer? As a clue, he used to play for Arsenal and he’s not Thierry Henri.
Flamini is the richest footballer invested in bio tech or something to do with fuel .
