The teary-eyed Scot said that while he would like Wimbledon to be his last tournament, he feels he might have to end things before that. 

Wimbledon is where I would like to stop playing, but I am not certain I am able to do that. I think there is a chance the Australian Open is my last tournament.

He cited hip injury as the reason behind his decision. 

I’ve been struggling for a long time. I’m not sure I can play through the pain for another four or five months. (I have) pretty much done everything that I could to try and get my hip feeling better and it hasn’t helped loads.

The three-time Grand Slam winner said that he can play with limitations, too, but that doesn’t allow him to enjoy his training or competition. 

In terms of titles, he has been most successful at Wimbledon, winning the tournament twice. 

So that explains why he wants to end his career there, but it might not be possible, given the seriousness of his injury. 

A crucial part of the ‘Big 4’ has announced retirement, this is truly the end of an era.
