He's cried after losing matches quite a few times, no surprise he'd do it when having to prematurely end his entire career.

He's been a great player in an era of even greater players and he should've, and probably would've, enjoyed even more high level success after Nadal and Federer had retired. Going out before those two must be pretty galling.

Optimistic as ever

Agree.

Very self indulgent and cringey. No actual tears fell just like the Austria cricket team.

Some fantastic achievements, but I won't miss him. The most joyless, charmless, boring sportsman ever.

Almost impossible to root for. Still haven't forgotten his snipes about England either (having a laugh my arse).

Cynically, he's lost form and can't cut it at this level anymore and the injury is convenient.

Good luck to him, the big positive is we won't have to be subjected to his equally personality-void mother riding about on his coat tails anymore.

Not sure about that. The media seem to adore him.
If he's disliked I imagine it's got more to do with his personality (or lack of) rather than envy.

Especially when they are English hating Scotsmen.

Can’t stand the miserable sour faced b******.

Know a few a people who have met him and he is supposed to a right arrogant t***.

Good riddance.

Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, del Potro and Murray - there have been great players in the past, but that's quite a gang. To have beaten them all means Murray is among the very best.
