Andy Murray has dropped the worrying truth on British tennis as he nears retirement

Andy Murray believes British tennis has failed to make the most of his success as the end of his career looms large. “We’ve obviously got a few players here, Kyle (Edmund), Cam Norrie, Dan Evans, Harriet Dart, Jo (Konta), Heather (Watson), Katie Boulter,” Murray told several national newspapers. “So there are quite a few players coming through that have potential to go on and do better, but obviously you are talking about the high end of the game. “The thing that is more concerning, from my understanding, is that participation is dropping. "I know in Scotland that there have not been many indoor courts built in the last 10 years. That seems madness. I don’t understand why that is. “I guess those are the things that are important for the future. "You need to get kids playing, you need to have the facilities that allow them to do that and I am not sure Britain has really capitalised on the last seven or eight years of success that we’ve had really, whether it be myself, my brother Jamie, Jo, Kyle, Davis Cup, those sorts of things.”
