Murray ready for 'last ever tournament' before retiring

Murray posted on X yesterday morning: "Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament. Competing for Great Britain have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I'm extremely proud to get to do it one final time!" With two consecutive singles gold medals in London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as a mixed doubles silver in 2012 alongside Laura Robson, the Olympics has been one of Murray's most successful tournaments. Paris will mark his fifth Games after playing his first Olympics in Beijing 2008.

Murray is scheduled to play in singles and doubles, alongside Dan Evans, on clay at Roland Garros. It is still unclear, though, if the 37-year-old Scot will compete in singles after back surgery four weeks ago.
