British tennis player Andy Murray has said that he does not intend to end his career and will not give up, despite not having a single win since the start of this season.
Since the beginning of the year, Murray has lost in the first round of tournaments in Brisbane and at the Australian Open, and was defeated on Tuesday in the first round in Montpellier, despite having a set advantage against Benoit Per (6:2, 6:7, 3: 6).
The Brit has not won since last October, when he beat Janik Hanfman in Basel.
After the defeat against Per, fans on social media questioned whether Murray should continue his career.
He said on the X network that these results did not tarnish his legacy.
"I'm in a terrible time right now, I admit that. Most people would have given up in my situation by now. But I'm not like most and my mind works differently. I'm not going to give up. I'm going to keep fighting and working to make the game I know I'm capable of ", said Murray.
Murray underwent hip surgery at the end of July 2019 and since then there has been speculation that he could end his career.
He won three Grand Slam titles, at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 and at the US Open in 2012, and among other things, two Olympic gold medals in 2012 and 2016.
During his career, he was also the number one tennis player in the world, and he is currently 49th on the ATP list.
