Murray to retire after Paris Olympics
Andy Murray has announced he will retire from tennis after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The 37-year-old is planning to play in the singles and doubles in Paris, in what will be his fifth Games.
“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” Murray wrote on X.
“Competing for Team GB has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time!”
The Scot’s first Games appearance was in Beijing in 2008 and he won gold in the singles at London 2012 by beating Roger Federer in straight sets.
Murray became the first male tennis player to win two Olympic singles titles four years later when he beat Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro in Rio.
The three-time Grand Slam winner has fought back from career-saving hip surgery in January 2019.
Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, played competitively at SW19 for one last time earlier this month when he was knocked out of the doubles in the first round alongside his brother Jamie.
