When it comes to greatness, there is hardly anyone who would not count Andy Murray on that list. From Grand Slams to Olympic gold to numerous ATP titles, there is hardly anything that the British legend did not accomplish in the game. However, time and injuries have not been in his favor over the last few years. That has also brought him under a lot of backlash from the fans who have asked him to retire from the sport.
Despite this, the former world number 1 has expressed his desire to carry on while playing the challengers. But Murray’s decision was not welcomed by the fans as they went ahead to slam the British legend once again for considering retirement.

While Murray suggested that he would be playing the challengers, a fan argued that he is not accepting reality, which is not a good thing. With the injuries that he had, it is time for him to step away.
Not accepting reality is a syndrome that may need help. Andy was very good but the injuries and the age are not forgiving. Playing chalenger is not the solution. You must accept that your best days have already passed.

Next, this fan also shared his opinion while remembering a time when he was a grand slam champion to today when he is playing in the challengers to regain his form.
Ridiculous. From Grand Slam King to Challengers.

Adding more to it, this fan came ahead and suggested that Murray should just give it up.
Give it up.

Last, but not least, this fan came ahead and suggested Andy Murray go home with his family and take retirement from the sport.
