I really don't know what to do with myself and I feel like I miss him so much already.

He seems to actually get on really well with Jack, not just in a “supportive because you’re a younger Brit” way, but an “I actually want to be your friend” way

My football fan boyfriend asked if he was really that good, had to try describe it as “remember when Alex Ferguson retired, this is worse, it’ll take longer to find another Andy Murray before another Alex Ferguson”

He lives near Jack and of course knows Jack’s Dad.

Omg I’m crying again

Roger retiring was tough, but now with both (most likely) Rafa and Andy gone too, it truly feels like the end of a different time. I definitely won’t be emotional when Djokovic retires.

Last 20 years have went by like a flash. I still remember the first time I seen him at Queens in 2005. I hope he goes into coaching too but for now I just want him to enjoy his retirement !

I’m off again

It’s funny as Kim is used to him never being at home, so I wonder if he’ll get on her nerves

I'm kinda glad my stream just cut off at the end as not sure I'm ready for an emotional send off. Would have been amazing to win one more and then bow out at either 4th or bronze - both would feel like a fitting end.

Oh! this is lovely

I wonder how either of them will cope now!

Thanks for all the amazing memories Andy, tennis won't be the same without you

 

[Beetle.]

I’m not a massive tennis fan by any means, but even I got a tear in my eye watching him at the end there tonight. He’s had a brilliant career.

Well said!

Oh no I missed the montage . I will never forget when he won his first Wimbledon title it was bloody fantastic

Have always loved his sense of humour!

Some of the replies though!

There’ll be lots more tributes coming in I’m sure, but Carlos doesn’t miss a beat, he posted this last night. Heart of gold that one.

 

[SarcasmSpecialist]

I have been a massive Murray fan since the start of his pro career: I'm so glad he's at peace with his decision to retire. But I'll miss that dry sense of humour.

This article details exactly why Murray had to retire now - and the long-term health implications if he didn't. Not sure how much of this is new information, but I hadn't read the exact details before.

Andy Murray retires: ‘I’m glad I got to finish on my own terms … I feel lucky’

Andy Murray bowed out in Paris at the end of a long, arduous career and quipped on X: ‘Never even liked tennis anyway’
