Veliki broj tenisača pružio je podršku Andyu Murrayu, nedugo nakon što je Britanac otkrio da mu je ovogodišnji Australian open možda i posljednji turnir u karijeri.
Bio je to povod da mnogobrojne Murrayeve kolege upute riječi podrške Škotu:
“Andy, upravo sam pogledao tvoju konferenciju. Molim te, nemoj prestati, nastavi se boriti. Mogu zamisliti tvoju bol i tugu. Nadam se da ćeš nadjačati. Volimo te…“, napisao je, između ostalog, Juan Martin del Potro.
Andy, just watched your conference. Please don’t stop trying. Keep fighting. I can imagine your pain and sadness. I hope you can overcome this. You deserve to retire on your own terms, whenever that happens. We love you @andy_murray and we want to see you happy and doing well. ?

Bugarin Grigor Dimitrov istaknuo je da će rezultati koje je Andy ostvario živeti zauvijek, dok je Rus Karen Hačanov poručio da je Murray istinski šampion i veliki primjer za sve.

Poruku podrške ostavile su i tenisačice, bivše i sadašnje, poput Kim Clijsters, Samanthe Stosur…

Sam Stosur on Andy Murray:
"He's been a fantastic player, champion. I mean, he's been a massive advocate for women's tennis and women's sport in general. I know in the locker room whenever we hear him kinda stick up for us, we're like, 'Yeah, go Andy!"
