Murray’s 2024 season has seen him fall short in all four matches played, prompting discussions about the possibility of retirement. However, Cahill, a multiple Grand Slam-winning coach, emphasized Murray’s status as one of the greatest competitors in tennis during an appearance on The Run Home with Andy and Gazey podcast.
“Andy is one of the greatest competitors our sport has seen because nothing has come easy to him, and he has had to work damn hard for everything that he has achieved in the game,” Cahill remarked.
Cahill further argued that no one has the right to dictate when Murray should retire, asserting that the British player can continue as long as he desires. He commended Murray’s remarkable career, considering the challenges he has faced on the court.
“No one has the right to tell him when to hand it up. He can play for as long as he wants; there is no damaging his brand. What he has been able to achieve in his career has been remarkable, considering the opposition he has had,” Cahill added.
Boris Becker, expressing solidarity with Cahill’s perspective, took to his X account (formerly Twitter) to share his agreement. “I couldn’t agree more,” Becker wrote, aligning himself with those advocating for Murray’s autonomy in deciding the trajectory of his tennis career.
