Earlier this year, the former Wimbledon and Olympics winner announced his retirement from tennis.
Fans were heartbroken as they watched the champion tennis player break down in tears in a press conference, even leaving the room at one point to compose himself.
The former men’s world number one couldn’t hold back his tears at the press conference in Melbourne, as he revealed this would be his last year of tennis.
Andy – who had been struggling to recover from surgery after a hip injury – said he would like Wimbledon in June to be his final tournament.
