Zowat de gehele tenniswereld reageert geschokt op het afscheid van Andy Murray (ATP-230). “Mijn hart breekt”, stuurde o.a. Kim Clijsters via sociale media de wereld in.
My heart breaks listening to @andy_murray during his press conference… Hope he will make it through to Wimbledon and have the farewell he deserves . #greatguy

Juan Martin del Potro (ATP-5), die zelf lang out is geweest met een blessure, hoopt dan weer dat Murray zich bedenkt. “Blijf proberen, je verdient een pensioen in goede omstandigheden”, aldus de Argentijn.
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.

Gewezen kampioen Andy Roddick noemt Murray een “legende” en “een meestertacticus, één van de beste uit de geschiedenis”.
If this is true, I tip my cap to @andy_murray ! Absolute legend. Short list of best tacticians in history. Unreal results in a brutal era …… Nothing but respect here. I hope he can finish strong and healthy https://t.co/FZbwmvRC2r

The @andy_murray that I know will absolutely make it to Wimbledon to play his final tournament. Not many with more heart, effort in the history of the game. Was always a pleasure to share the court pal.

So sad for @andy_murray . Hands down one of the best guys on tour. So much respect for him as an all around athlete and person. Hope his body can recover. If not, he will be missed by all.
