By Laura Robson shares her thoughts on Andy Murray’s retirement at the Paris Olympics and reminisces about winning a silver medal with him at the London 2012 Olympics. She believes Murray’s decision to retire at the Olympics highlights his love for team environments, as he thrives in group settings.
Robson notes that Murray is enjoying his time in the Olympic village, taking photos with fellow athletes like Carlos Alcaraz and Neal Skupski. She praises his incredible achievement of participating in five Olympics over 20 years, emphasizing his longevity in the sport.
Reflecting on their time together at the 2012 Olympics, Robson recalls the support they received and how seriously Murray took both singles and doubles matches. She fondly remembers their silver medal win as one of the best weeks of her life.
Robson also believes Murray would make an excellent coach due to his deep understanding of tennis and his meticulous approach to improving every aspect of his game. She suggests that any young British player would benefit greatly from his experience, both tactically and mentally. However, she acknowledges that coaching would require significant time away from home, which Murray might not prefer at this stage of his life.
