Three grand slams, 45 ATP titles – Numbers behind Murray's career ahead of retirement

Melbourne, January 11: An emotional Andy Murray is planning to bid farewell to tennis at Wimbledon, if the injury-ravaged star makes it that far.

Murray dropped a bombshell just days out from the year's opening grand slam, the tearful former world number one revealing the Australian Open could be his last tournament due to his troublesome hip.

The 31-year-old has struggled since undergoing surgery at the start of last year – restricted to just 12 matches in 2018 as his ranking plummeted to 230.

With Murray sensationally eyeing retirement in the coming months, we look at the numbers behind his storied career on the ATP World Tour.

Keep fighting, @andy_murray.
