Barely 24 hours earlier, Andy Murray was having a much-publicised 'warm-up' match against Top Seed and World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, kick-starting the action for Australian Open 2019, signalling his supposed return to big-stage tennis.

Then, his surprise announcement came as a complete reverse.

Andy Murray - - just 31, in a sport where 31 now seems to be the new 21 - - is a 3-Time Grand Slam Champion and a back-to-back Olympic Champion - - the only man in history to win the Olympics Tennis Men's Singles, two times.

He was Knighted by Prince William in 2016.

Unlucky, or otherwise, Andy Murray lived in a very rare era of giants where the sports' greatests of all time, seemed somewhat to come abound.

He is one of the "Big Four" - - alongside with the sports' greatests Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic - - forming a super elite quad in tennis who have dominated the sport for many years.

Brutally, Andy Murray lost the Australian Open Championship Finals, a record five times - - four times of which, to Novak Djokovic .

Regardless, surely to history they shall all belong.

In January 2018, Andy Murray posted a long, poignant and gloomy social media post before going under the knife for his stubborn hip injury which had tormented him on tour for many months, prior.

"Andy Murray faces biggest career threat as dreaded hip surgery looms!", then wrote Sports24.news.

"Hip surgeries, once done on tennis players in years past, they never became the same players, again", Sports24.news added.

Tributes pour as the news - - albeit was already somewhat previously ominous - - still came today to many in the sport, as a shock.

Salute, Andy.
