I have the utmost admiration for Andy Murray, says Rod Laver
Through Twitter, the tennis legend commented on retirement from tennis. The Australian wrote: Andy is a great champion who I have the utmost admiration for.
Ive enjoyed following his stellar career, he is truly one of the greats of our game a lovely bloke! Arise, Sir Andy. I applaud you wish you well in all your future endeavours. : My thoughts are with @andy_murray and I really hope we continue to see you fighting on court so you can retire on your own terms.
Get well soon… Tennis is better with you. : Just thinking out loud here. He deserves his moment to say goodbye at Wimbledon. Hes too important to Great Britain and Wimbledon history to not have it…..
Would be a pretty cool moment to play doubles with his bro at Wimby if he cant play singles. Absolute legend. A short list of best tacticians in history. Unreal results in a brutal era. Nothing but respect here. I hope he can finish strong and healthy.
Karen Khachanov: Really sad to hear that. You are a true champion of our sport and a great example for all of us! Stay strong. Grigor Dimitrov: Tennis will come to an end for us all but the friendships will last a lifetime.
What youve done for the sport will live on forever. Im hoping for a strong and healthy finish for you, my friend! Elena Vesnina: Just heard about Andy Murray press conference and my heart breaks to hear that.
Truly an inspiration for everyone, a role model for boys and girls, a fighter in every aspect, who was always standing in our corner. Really hope he will make it through to Wimbledon. Keep strong Andy. Sloane Stephens: So sad to hear this.
A true champion. Petra Kvitova: Thank you for being such an inspiration. Your hard work and perseverance taught me so much. Hopefully, you get to retire on our favourite court, Wimbledon. We will all be cheering for you these next few months.
Brian Moore: Difficult to watch Andy Murrays press conference. To have been world number one in an era with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic is extraordinary and best wishes for whatever he does next. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
