Murray lost first round again today. Time for retirement?
Didn't realise he was playing. But urgh, this is getting painful isn't it. I don't want it to be the end for him, but really how long can he keep going getting knocked out in round 1. He must still just be holding out for Wimbledon....UTH said:

This seems likely as he has admitted he's probably in the final months of his career.

I assume, as has been said previously, he'll announce his retirement in the lead up to Wimbledon this year.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/68406425

I do wonder if doubles might be an option though? He clearly still loves playing, so why not drop down from the huge intensity of singles.....
Would be fun to watch, but how many top singles players take that option? He has a young family too - perhaps a moment to spend more time at his hotel and work out what to do next. 
Murray wants one last Olympics

Fair enough if he has a genuine chance of winning

It would be a travesty if he were selected to play. He isn’t the British number 1 and on current form he probably isn’t in the top 4. It should be Cam Norrie or Jack Draper.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/68421921

the rules said:
The other two ITF Places are reserved for Olympic or Grand Slam singles champions who didn't qualify through other criteria, provided they are in the singles top 400 and don't make their NOC exceed their maximum quota.
In which case fair play to him.https://olympics.com/en/news/pathway-to-paris-2024...

An excellent win - her first Tournament final and win at that level and she is playing with a very positive attitude. Career high of 27 so possibly looking at a seeding for the next Tournament and possibly Grand Slam depending on continuing this vein of form.
She is quite old at 27. Did she get enough support from the LTA when she was a junior to support her development? Skeptisk said:
