‘I don’t have a clue what I’m doing!’: Fuming Andy Murray smacks his racket against the

Andy Murray smashed his racket against the umpire’s chair in frustration and roared ‘I don’t have a clue what I’m doing’ at his coaching box as he lost to Ugo Humbert in Dubai.

As rumours about the 36-year-old British tennis star’s imminent retirement continue to swirl, Murray had another off-day at the Dubai Tennis Championships.

Enraged at sending a shot too long he bashed his racket against the stairs to the umpire’s platform and threatened to inflict further damage to his equipment as he returned to his chair.

After losing another point, the Scot turned to his coaching team and yelled: ‘I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. Oh God, awful feelings, awful feelings on the tennis court.’

Murray lost the last-16 match to Frenchman Humbert 6-2, 6-4 on Wednesday.

After beating Denis Shapovalov in the previous round, Murray revealed that he wants to ‘compete at another Olympic Games’ before retiring from tennis suggesting he could play for Great Britain in the Paris event this year.

Having won just two of his seven matches this year, there have been suggestions that three-time Grand Slam winner Murray may walk away from the sport this year.

On BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme, Murray returned to claim that he wants another shot at Olympic glory. He said: ‘Hopefully I can get the chance to compete at another one’.

Murray has won a gold medal in the men’s singles at London 2012 and Rio 2016, while also picking up a silver medal in the mixed doubles 12 years ago.

On potentially retiring, Murray then said: ‘When the time is right I will probably say something before I play my last match and my last tournament. 

‘Whether I say anything months ahead of the time I don’t know.’

Just days before, Murray gave the clearest indication yet that this will be the final season of his extraordinary career, saying he has only ‘a few months’ left.

‘I probably don’t have too long left but I’ll do as best as I can these last few months,’ said the 36-year-old Scot after a 4-6, 7-6, 6-3 win on Monday.

‘I still love competing and still love the game but it gets harder and harder to compete the older you get, to keep your body fit and fresh.’

Last month, Murray angrily denied he was damaging his legacy by continuing to play tennis – and insisted he was not ready to quit the game. 

Coming after his early exit at the Australian Open in Melbourne, it led to some observers suggesting the two-time Wimbledon champion was close to retirement.

However, an article on the BBC led to a furious backlash from Murray and his fans alike when it asked if playing on could eventually ‘start to damage his legacy?’ 

Responding on X, a raging Murray said: ‘Tarnishing my legacy? Do me a favour. I’m in a terrible moment right now, I’ll give you that’.
