Andy Murray believes he does not "deserve" the same kind of emotional farewell afforded to Roger Federer.
Federer called time on his illustrious 24-year career at the Laver Cup, breaking down in tears after his final match. The 20-time Grand Slam winner gave an emotional on-court speech after losing a doubles match alongside long-time friend and rival Rafael Nadal to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.
Murray was part of Team Europe alongside Federer thought his send-off was "super special". However, the 35-year-old says he will not look to bow out of the sport in similar fashion, insisting he will not have a "farewell match" when he eventually decides to retire.
"I certainly won't and don't deserve to have a send-off like that," Murray said. "Roger did deserve that night and it was super special having all of those guys there watching on the side of the court.
"I'm not going to have a farewell match. I probably would announce when I'm going to play my last event, but when that is I don't know.
"I'm still playing competitive tennis and physically feeling good against top players. I just need to start turning these tight losses and close matches into wins. It's as simple as that."
Federer has said he wants to remain involved in tennis following his retirement, but Murray says he could find it "challenging". He said: "Obviously with his experience, the one thing that is I think difficult when you are as talented and have as many options as him is to remember that not everybody can do the things that he did.
"Sometimes, he might see a shot and be, like: 'Oh, maybe, he should have played that one'. But he had the ability to play everything and he had so many options at his disposal that that's I think the challenging thing also as a coach sometimes, especially someone in his position.
"But he's great on the side. He watches a lot of tennis. He loves the game."
