Tom-the-eagle Croydon 11 Jan 19 5.45pm
Just watched his press conference where he has said that he will be retiring from tennis this year due to injury. Now I don't mind the guy, to be honest I have no real feeling towards him, he certainly seems decent enough, however I must say to see him breaking down in tears in front of a room full of journalists was in my opinion pretty embarrassing. Now I get that he's passionate and he's saying goodbye to his dreams etc, I really do, so maybe this says more about me than him, but in my mind blokes should never and I mean never behave like that. Man up man. "It feels much better than it ever did, much more sensitive." John Wayne Bobbit

No wonder theres so much grief about you on HOL. If that was a poster, you'd probably card him for it & no doubt you will take great delight in carding me, as you've already said you are waiting to do. This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

That's really tough to take for Andy Murray. We may reflect that not being able to be a tennis champion anymore is not the end of the world. Thank you Andy Murray.

Never a fan of Murray but our best tennis player since Fred Perry and to win Wimbledon after 70 years with all that pressure on him well fair play. I wasn't surprised he's retiring. When he had his operation Andrew Castle more or less said he will never play again as he had had the same issue. Murray was a success due to his mother and the Spanish coaching system. Who are the youngsters that will replace him or have the LTA been too busy enjoying Murray's success as "one of our own". One more point
