BBCWorld Thank u?😊

BBCWorld Once it all goes Nothing permanent The Buddha

😢

It's sad news to leave any job through I'll health. AndyMurray is still the people's favourite of the UK. I feel for him having to bow out before his time. Thank you Andy for keeping Scotland and England tennis alive. 💜

Maybe he should take up acting next cuz he is giving it a good go at acting tearful

This is sad for Andy Murray but it is not more important than the item on the news about Universal Credit. Strange priorities.

Everything crossed he gets to end it how he wishes to at Wimbledon! He deserves it and should be so proud of everything he’s achieved!

You shall be missed andy_murray enjoyed watching ATP since year 2000-2019. Thank you andy_murray for your graft, skill set & tennis championship winner. 🙏🥇🏆

Very sad to see but all respect to Andy that it means that much to him he is brought to tears by contemplating that he might not be able to play a sport he loves again

💔

Love him!

He literally broke his back making the brits proud.. he will be missed.

Hero lest we forget

It’s a sad day when the news about Andy Murray takes top place .

Great tennis player ❤️ very sad 😭

His achievements and inspiration to others are everlasting.

Such a shame!!

So sad for him. It obviously means so much to him, but he has achieved more for British tennis than anyone since Virginia Wade. Well done Andy

Its a bit sad for him but jeeez....backbone son, backbone

I have always loved you & routed for u, I wished u will be back playing. You were a legend and an inspiration in UK tennis. You will be grately missed, as u are one of the reason why I have heartache during tennis tournaments season.

Thousands of people have to Give Up Their Job due to injury ........

This is sad. AndyMurray will always be remembered as a sporting hero and an advocate for women. I have the utmost respect for him. Best wishes in your future endeavours, Andy.

He's always that miserable

Oh my god my heart just breaks for him 💔. He should be so proud of what he has achieved. Good luck to him, he can now enjoy his family

What a fantastic career Andy has had. He has achieved more in his young life than most people in a lifetime. What a fabulous gift he has to pass on to a younger generation. He should be very proud of all he has done.

BBCWorld Andy you’ve done us all proud best tennis player we’ve had so keep your head in sure you’ll find other routes in life

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Wanker

BBCWorld Breaks my heart.

Dont cry you were crap anyway

BBCScotlandNews Gutted for Andy. Poor guy! Sending him lots of love and admiration. I loved watching him play and win!!

BBCWorld Poor guy. Get a job as a greeter at Harrods. Change is good. It’s inevitable.

Quiero abrazarlo 😭

Can't stop missing to the greatest player. Thank you for all the fantastic play

BBCWorld They get to make a living out playing the sport they love, and they want to go on forever what a bitch.

BBCWorld Andy, u r an amazing athlete, u play as long as u can without it being too painful, u r too young to injure ur self further.

I'll miss his smiling happy face.

BBCWorld Andy, you are a firecracker of a player on the court and it was always clear why. You wanted to win. So your antics you are so well known for are absolutely not going to hinder your legacy. Fight like you only know how! One Andy Murray, there's only one Andy Murray!

So sorry.

I can't believe the crass comments (all I've seen are from men!) about his crying. This is a man in constant pain who has pushed & pushed for not only his own career but for his country. I'm so glad for his fragile moment & showing world what life with chronicpain is truly like!

Sorry Andy get a job

Andy still the Best

BBCWorld Wow! That’s incredibly sad. He is a great guy in addition to being a great tennis player!

Oh God. Now we have to watch him on Strictly

Never an “Andy fan” but can’t deny he’s been an amazing athlete. Must be distraught at having to retire when the mind is willing but the body isn’t. Seeing RogerF still going great guns must be harder still. I hope you go to Wimbledon, even as an honoured guest.

BBCWorld Aaahhhh poor little guy

Heartbreaking! Something tells me Andy will come back better & stronger. Only way is up so wishing him all the luck!

Andy murray not verry gud at tennis anyway an he only retiyrr becoz he carnt play gud and beat the top player like Nadal and jokivic so he rubbish and he ugly like his mum to ha ha ha so get lost Andy pastloser ferderbetter love penny xxxxxxxx

did someone give him a tissue?

Andy Murray is an insperation to so many young people,first class guy,new chapter now,good luck to him and his family

😭

God the coverage anyone would think he had died. He’s made millions out of doing what he loves I don’t feel sorry for him at all...

Well done for what you have achieved during your career. Your playing career may be coming to an end, but you could go on to coach the younger generation that are coming through, pass on your experiences etc.

I will not be crying when I retire....

☹️

This is such sad news, he's a wonderful role model to my boys. Works hard, never gives, respectful to other players, no scandal' s and not afraid to stand up for himself or others. Especially women in ten is and generally. Let's celebrate all he has achieved

Two Wimbledon titles. One US Open title. Inspired a generation. Knighthood. I imagine perspective can be tough to find at that level, but much to celebrate and happier pain-free times to look forward to.

BBCScotlandNews Good luck Andy. A true sporting great who has brought happiness and joy to many people. 👍🏻

_imanura Historic moment in tennis 🎾 Andy Murray bravely reveals that his hip surgery is very possibly not going to allow him to play tennis 🎾 Playing through the pain unbearable

Soft as shite....

So sad for him

Hard to watch someone clearly heartbroken. Good luck Andy. You will find new challenges and opportunities.

Andy... your an historic super sportsman that represents Scotland and Britain magnificently. Very sorry to see your pain.

BBCWorld Seems such a short time. But I’m sure the world of pundetary awaits

If this is the end of the line andy_murray please know your achievements will be remembered as one of the best moments in sports of any kind. You have shown courage, integrity and respect to the sport and fellow sportsmen. I don't know how the void will be filled. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇

BBCWorld 😢

Poor Andy Murray gets to retire at the age of 31 as a millionaire😴 I’ll be working till im 65 and still skint as fuck the helmet🖕

So sad .The end of an era. Such a wonderful player! An inspiration to the young players . He has given and continues to give so much to the sport he loves. Wonderful entertainment throughout his playing career,we will miss him so much.

BBCWorld Get well , if you can - big hug💝💝💝

God bless Andy

BBCWorld Just hearing about his horrific pain is distressing. Andy, if you're in pain - retire. You've given your country your best and reached the top; you owe tennis, the UK and your fans NOTHING MORE. Time for a rest for that body, pal. We salute you! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Braveheart ScotsWhaHae

This is so sad to watch. He has done himself and the country proud and is obviously devestated that retirement is being forced upon him.

BBCWorld ❤️

BBCWorld Aaaaaa

BBCScotlandNews Wonderful young man who has given his all to a sport he loves. He is an inspiration and his career should be celebrated. Go Andy 💞

BBCWorld What a career though 👍 Chin up Andy lad.

At least Andy gave us something to cheer about & I agree it’s sad that he’s retired so early due to injury but at the same time he has a family to look after & some things are more important than tennis. Well done Andy & thank you 👏👏👏

BBCWorld Brilliant young man and athlete. 💗💖💗

Come on fella, stiff upper lip and all that! No shame in having to quit through injury, you can focus on helping the next generation achieve their dreams and have the success you have had & beyond. Now sort yourself out and get on with the job in hand.

Some unkind remarks about this, whether you like him or not it’s sad he’s having to give up a sport he loves & has excelled at, bit of empathy please & just wish him well for the future

BBCWorld hell be back to being Scottish now .instead of british

BBCScotlandNews So sad for andy_murray! Love him so much. Will never forget how he brought the world's best players to Glasgow in the knowledge that so few of us could ever dream of seeing him play at Wimbledon. Champion Hero X😢❤️💙

BBCWorld That’s Sports Personality of the Year won for 2019 then... 🙄

BBCWorld You are amazing u have got nothing to prove to anyone xx

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Andy - it is okay... You have given it your all and although it is the end of one chapter - OMG - it is the start of the next! And you get to spend a lot more time with your family. Get some tips from your mother on coaching - she did a great job! Hugs and Love Always 💖

BBCWorld

Once persistent injuries occur, your body has simply had enough and it is time to retire ! To continue in the face of nature is foolhardy ! Time will tell, but once your body has rested you may be able to gently return in the future !

He's a millionaire that's good at a sport. Get over it Andy. Some people have to work until they are 70.

Boo Hoo

My heart is breaking for him, to have to verbalise and face the reality of giving up probably the only thing you have ever known and loved (professionally) most of your life, must be devastating champ

People saying that he is rich and famous why is he crying can't see beyond their myopic stance. He has been World 1, at this level people don't just care about wealth and fame. They are just the by-products at best.

A loss to tennis! Pain of a hip is really awful - I know and I'm not an athlete - no idea how you would cope!

Nothing but respect for such a wonderful tennis player.. You will leave the game richer.. Enjoy till it lasts. Hopefully not with pain.. We will cheer you on till Wimbledon... Common AndyMurray one more point to win the match...

BBCWorld 🙁

I am not a tennis fanbbut as a human and as someone who works hard at what I do my hat is off to him for what he has achieved in his chosen field. Fair play to you Andy.

So sorry to hear this news , what a true champion and a lovely guy. Sending love and best wishes to him 💕💕

😴😴😴😴😴

Very sad. He might have his haters but he was a true great. British tennis is about to become a lot worse off as is the wider game. A sportsman who always tried his best and always worked to be the best. Well done Andy, you will be missed.

BBCWorld Love you Andy Murray

BBCWorld I really feel sorry for him, but I wanna tell him that u have to be more strong and have faith and believe that you can get well. Nothing impossible except you.

BBCScotlandNews We’ll miss you Andy

Very sad this but he should be proud of what he’s accomplished. Tennislegend

Devastating for him.

BBCWorld It must be very hard for you Andy, think of your health and your future, there’s a whole life ahead of you. You have given us much joy and pleasure during your amazing career, always pushing yourself to the limit. I wish you all the best.

BBCWorld I think this might be me when I leave 845 Naval Air Squadron! What an incredible ambassador for Britain and sport in general.

Massive future ahead nowt to worry about... cheer up mate

My heart goes out to Andy Murray. ❤️

Been a great sportsman and ambassador. I wish him well and am sure he will find that life after tennis is very rewarding? Golf beckons

Sad news 😢

BBCWorld Move on-no story here!

BBCScotlandNews So much admiration for him

Unbelievable player - always gave it everything. Was able to elevate his career to the very top level in an era with the best players to grace the game. Well done Andy 👏👍

You are twice Olympic champion. You were Olympic champion at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and I had the opportunity to see you play. I thank you and wish you a full recovery. Good bless you and your Family.

BBCWorld Andy has always been a likable chap and wish him the best whatever he decides.

BBCWorld You don't have anything to prove to anyone you did what no one else could do in our lifetime and they were wonderful moments x

Ohh so sad😔😔😔 Poor guy, he's upset us all 😢😢😢😢

Miserable Murray. Byeeee

Andrew Murray, you are a darling. All sport is in your debt.

Why is he crying? He is set for life and can enjoy being with his family and live off endorsements. Or is it bc he is worried not being able to pay for his mortgages like the rest of us?

😢❤

BBCScotlandNews Desperately sad, can see how much it means to do something that he loves. Hoping he can make it to Wimbledon and get the send off into retirement he so rightly deserves 🏆 champ

BBCScotlandNews calamiTcat

Never a good thing to see when injury ends your career instead of it being your decision.

Bless him! X

Poor guy. Sad to watch.

Feel gutted for him! A real legend & sporting role model for children in this country to look up to. Salute

andy_murray Look after yourself first and foremost. Your health must be safeguarded.

BBCWorld Sad to see McMurry like this true champion shame he couldn’t miss Australian open and concentrated on Wimbledon as his farewell tournament 👋

I remembered Gustavo Kuerten

Murray is a complete idiot if he is in so much pain, but still playing a mere game, however good he was at it. He should be putting his family first, and not damaging his health in the way he is doing.

BBCWorld We love you. Sorry to hear the news. Keep well. X

Poor lad

Murray would have played more years if he had listened to his body other than pundits and media about playing when hurt and critize other players for pulling out when hurt/injured

Thank you Andy Murray for all the wonderful memories.

This is awful to watch. Whatever your views on Andy, just imagine being forced to retire from something you love because of injury and pain. Imagine not being able to choose when you quit. Money and fame do not soften the blow when you have been World 1.

I know he's deverstated etc but he's not exactly retiring on a paupers pension is he..like us

BBCWorld Never really that good...!

BBCWorld A very sad day for British tennis to see such a great champion andy_murray at such a low point but full of admiration for his honesty and heart which have been hallmarks of a fantastic career and for which there should be no regrets

An exceptional player, and a great man and role model. He is making the right decision for the longterm.

The poor man is in pieces and still the journalist pushes 'is this your last tournament'. How insensitive can one be?

Your health is more important, celebrate your amazing success and bow out while you still can. Wish you all the very best andy_murray

Look he is going to need help to handle this from an ex pro who understands the enormous crash in emotions he will undoubtedly feel going forward He is a tough nut but he needs some real kindness right now !

He’s been a brilliant ambassador for British tennis and should be proud of what he’s accomplished. New challenges await

A good man and brilliant sportsman. Hope we get to see you play at Wimbledon

andy_murray do what is best for you! You are and will always be a true champion in our hearts! Health is everything ❤️

BBCWorld Sad. Definitely sad. Get well soon. God Bless.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😢you’ve done well Andy🎾❤️

It’s such sad news, tennis is so important to him but I hope he finds a second career just as rewarding. ❤️❤️

Great tennis player, what a rubbish personality. Sadly can't string a sentence together.

BBCWorld The sad story of sports, Andi will stay stronger!!

Andy Murray has brought pride to Britain and Scotland and should be celebrated he’s also been a charitable and great spokesperson for things that matter outside of the game.

BBCWorld bye

BBCWorld Gutted for him 😞

He's not dying. Rich tennis player MAY be retiring to become rich tennis coach or rich broadcaster.

BBCWorld Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

BBCWorld Tearful? Bufty.

BBCWorld Is “Injury” his wife’s name?

Report it properly and stop showing it - three times in 45 minutes - is that necessary? He's been amazing for tennis in this country - show him playing and at his best!

Cringe

Like many sporting celebrities hes made alot of money and no doubt the media will find him a cosy number with a few quid to see him through poor chap

BBCWorld buh bye

Hold your head up high. U have had a brilliant career!

Very sad.

Fake news

Bless he is a trooper and andy_murray is and will always be a legend

😢

Our best player ever. So much joy to a nation. Go relax and enjoy your family andy_murray and then commentate for 50 years asking ' when will we win Wimbeldon again Tim?' 😛

Very sad news for tennis

We need to celebrate his achievements and I’m sure he will help others to become future champions.

Tour health is more important andy_murray but I feel for you, I had to give up my career for my spinal injury.

Let's pity the homeless and hungry instead of some washed up tennis player

😭😭😭😭😭Andy

.andy_murray, your Wimbledon victories will always be honoured, and I wish you all the very best for the future. 🎾

Embarrassing
