Tennis, ritiro Murray: le reazioni dal mondo sui social

Andy Murray ha annunciato il suo ritiro a ridosso dell’Australian Open che partirà settimana prossima e che potrebbe essere, per sua stessa ammissione, l’ultimo torneo della sua carriera.

Vincitore in carriera di tre tornei dello Slam, tra cui due Wimbledon, e due medaglie d’oro olimpiche , a quasi 32 anni Murray sarà costretto al ritiro da un vecchio infortunio all’anca da cui non si è ripreso nonostante un’operazione e un 2018 fatto di poche partite e tanti stop.

Sono stati migliaia i messaggi di sostegno al campione di Glasgow; eccone alcuni tra i più significativi.

Juan Martin Del Potro, “Non mollare, continua a lottare”

Andy, just watched your conference. Please don’t stop trying. Keep fighting. I can imagine your pain and sadness. I hope you can overcome this. You deserve to retire on your own terms, whenever that happens. We love you @andy_murray and we want to see you happy and doing well. 🙏

Andy, I know you take me for a joker most of the time, but at least hear me out on this one old friend. You will always be someone that impacted the sport in so many different ways, I know this was never the way you wanted to go out, but hey it was a heck of a ride. You took me under your wing as soon as I got on tour, and to this day you have been someone I literally just look forward to seeing. You are one crazy tennis player, miles better than me, but I just want you to know that today isn’t only a sad day for you and your team, it’s a sad day for the sport and for everyone you’ve had an impact on. Which leaves me big fella.. these are a couple photos, that should make you smile and think, I was actually a little bit of a younger brother to you. Anyways, I just want you to know, and I’m sure you already do, everyone wants you to keep fighting and to keep being you. Goodluck at the Australian Open muzz, I’ll be behind you. #onelastdance 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Grigor Dimitrov, “L’amicizia durerà per sempre”

Tennis will come to an end for us all but the friendships will last a lifetime. What you’ve done for the sport will live on forever. I’m hoping for a strong and healthy finish for you, my friend! @andy_murray pic.twitter.com/Bcs0cdllJp

Andy Roddick, “Andy merita di dire addio a Wimbledon”

Just thinking out loud here. He deserves his moment to say goodbye at Wimbledon. He’s too important to Great Britain and Wimbledon history to not have it….. Would be a pretty cool moment to play doubles w his bro at Wimby if he can’t play singles https://t.co/m7caeL2shX

Hard to watch the @andy_murray press conference today. So many athletes are forced to retire because of injury and pain. Wishing you all the best Andy!

Theresa May, primo ministro britannico

Andy Murray has had a fantastic career and time and time again has made this nation proud. We all hope we can see much more of him playing this year and when he does finish, he will be remembered as one of the best and most successful athletes of his or any generation.
