Kyrgios said that he felt like a little brother to Murray, as fellow players paid their tributesThe impact Andy Murray has made at home and abroad was reflected in the tributes paid to him from around the world after he announced overnight in Australia that he is to retire. The 31-year-old Scot, who in 2013 became the first British winner of the men’s singles title at Wimbledon for 77 years, said he hopes to finish at the All England Club this summer but that the pain in his hip means he may have to quit before then. In addition to his three grand-slam titles — the US Open in 2012 and Wimbledon again in 2016 — and his two Olympic titles from 2012 and 2016 Murray also led Great Britain to their first Davis Cup in 79 years, in 2015.
