Andy Murray has "no timeframe" on retirement after battling to first win of the season

British tennis icon Andy Murray says there is "no timeframe" on his retirement plans after claiming his opening win of the season ahead of the Australian Open.

The 35-year-old Brit came from a set down to beat World No 97 Zhang Zhizhen at the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne running out 2-6, 6-3, 10-2 winner. Murray had a lengthy spell out of tennis after undergoing hip resurfacing surgery in 2019 and hasn't won a Grand Slam tournament since.

The former World No 1 goes into the new season ranked at 49 after failing to get past the third round in last year's Grand Slams. The tough going at majors has given rise to speculation over his future, but Murray says so long as he's injury free and enjoying playing he will carry on competing.
