Wimbledon: Murray casts doubt on future as Djokovic races past Wawrinka

thenationalnews.com

Andy Murray admitted Friday's early exit from Wimbledon has impacted his motivation to continue, while defending champion Novak Djokovic motored into the fourth round with a comfortable win over Stan Wawrinka.

Murray's fitness problems since winning his second Wimbledon title in 2016 have been well documented, with a hip injury threatening to end his career.

However, the former world No 1 entered this year's Championships full of optimism having returned to the world's top 40 and with successive grasscourt titles under his belt, albeit on the second-tier Challenger circuit.

Murray also had a favourable-looking draw at Wimbledon if he was able to get past fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round, but after leading the Greek by two sets to one, he was defeated after five close sets when their match resumed on Friday evening.
