Andy Murray's mother and his childhood coach Judy Murray sent a message of support to the Brit when the former World No. 1 was repeatedly being asked about his plans to retire.

In the press conference at the Dubai Tennis Championships, Murray said that he was 'bored' answering the same question at every press conference. He further added that he was not going to talk about his retirement until the time he decided to retire.

"I get asked about it after every single match that I play, every single tournament that I play. And I am bored of the question, to be honest. I'm not going to talk more about that between now and whenever the time comes for me to stop," Andy Murray said at the press conference after his second-round loss to Ugo Humbert at Dubai Tennis Championships.

His mother, Judy, retweeted the video and reiterated Murray's sentiments while urging everyone to let him enjoy the rest of his tennis career.

Every single press conference he is asked the same question. When he started on @atptour it was “ah but when r u going to win Wimbledon?” Every single time. Let him enjoy whatever time is left of his career. He is 50 in the world, has a metal hip, a bipartite patella + 4 kids," Judy Murray wrote.
