Murray tiring of retirement question treadmill

Weekly media questions about his looming retirement are starting to get to Andy Murray, with the former No. 1 complaining that no one is hearing what he has repeatedly said.

“I feel like no one is listening to me,” he joked, head in hands after losing in the second round 7-6 (3), 6-1 to fifth seed Andrey Rublev at the Indian Wells Masters..

“I’m planning on finishing in the summer. I don’t know what more I’m supposed to say. 

“I’ve been getting asked about it for 18 months or so; it’s obviously something I have thought about, but hadn’t made a decision on”

He added: “Once I have made the decision, I expressed that, and no one is listening to it. So I don’t really understand why I keep getting asked, to be honest.”

Murray has said he wants to play through the summer leaving the exact date up in the air. But most would guess he could hang up the racquet at Wimbledon in July.
