The two-time Wimbledon champion said on June 27 that if was able to play at Wimbledon -- as he has did on Thursday -- then he would likely retire after the Paris Olympics. Murray faced a race against time to be fit to play in his final tournament at the All England Club after undergoing a procedure to address a spinal cyst on June 22. He subsequently withdrew from his first-round singles match on Tuesday, but confirmed that he would play in the men's doubles. However, the 37-year-old's Wimbledon farewell got off to a difficult start on Thursday as he was knocked out of the men's doubles in the first round alongside his older brother, Jamie, with a 7-6 (6), 6-4 loss to Australian pair Rinky Hijikata and John Peers. Speaking after the match, Murray discussed coming to terms with the end of his playing career. "I would love to keep playing, but I can't physically. It is too tough now. All of the injuries, they've added up. ... They haven't been insignificant. But yeah, I want to play forever," Murray told the BBC. "I love the sport. It's given me so much, taught me loads of lessons over the years that I can use for the rest of my life. But yeah, I don't want to stop, so it is hard." Murray also hinted that he might be interested in taking up coaching in his post-playing career. Asked if he was a good tennis watcher, Murray said: "It depends who I'm watching. I hate watching my brother. I find it really difficult to watch my brother play. But yeah, I love tennis. I watch it all the time. I'd probably be more comfortable sitting up there in a coaching box than somewhere else." Murray is due to take to the court again this week after Wimbledon organisers announced on Wednesday that he had entered the mixed doubles draw alongside fellow Brit Emma Raducanu after the pair were given a wild-card entry. The mixed doubles competition begins on Friday. 01champions19 ArticleLarge ?quality=75&auto=webp&disable=upscale 1153209125 Players Of FC Liverpool Celebrate With The Trophy After Winning The UEFA Champions League 840x559 C39a58e6d51b051b8fc2fea931764a4e Liverpool F.C. 3000 Liverpool Champions Leagu 2019 1153209125 .0 Wp5141406 Liverpool 2 0 Victory Over Tottenham Wp5578758 R8gekt79l6251 8c7ec199bdf5a1961ac64e7486427377 186124 240225 Liverpool Cup Getty ?quality=85&strip=all&resize=1200%2C675 Premier League Fixtures Liverpool 2961135 1bd2c7346cbf4fd31d37d0dba00b4e12 1920 File 20220526 12 J9n3tj ?10000 P2022 02 27 League Cup Final 75 600x391 107332678 Liverpool Epa 3366242 68805108 2560 1440 Liverpool Football Club 781x441 Fbl Eur C1 Draw LFC Fixtures 2 127a5fd0 0044 11ee A292 Fd708db4a528 4c0b4fa6f6030c0123325a62b6ded208527e004f0cd1c3d8a1f5c01d5a0e2ddc Uefa Champions League 2022 23 Group Stage Draw In Istanbul SEI106957146 Skysports Liverpool Title Winners 5022679 ?20200625231552 Skysports Liverpool Title Winners 5022679
