Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray<\/a> reiterated Wednesday that he is likely to retire from tennis before the season is over.<\/p>\n

“I’m likely not going to play past this summer,” Murray, 36, said after losing 6-2, 6-4 to fifth-seeded Ugo Humbert<\/a> at the Dubai Championships.<\/p>\n

After rallying past Denis Shapovalov<\/a> in three sets on Monday for his 500th hard-court win, Murray hinted<\/a> he was heading into the “last few months” of his career.<\/p>\n

And he expanded a bit on those plans after losing to Humbert, although he stopped short of setting a firm timeline.<\/p>\n

“I get asked about it after every single match that I play, every single tournament that I play. I’m bored of the question, to be honest,” Murray said. “I’m not going to talk more about that between now and whenever the time comes for me to stop. But, yes, I don’t plan on playing much past this summer.”<\/p>\n
