Sir Andy Murray has announced he will retire from tennis after the Paris 2024 Olympics. Murray exited Wimbledon for the final time alongside his brother Jamie in the men's doubles, having not been able to play in the singles competition due to injury or the mixed doubles due to the withdrawal of his partner Emma Raducanu
And in the week before the Games, he announced it would be his last tournament. “Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” Murray posted on X/Twitter. “Competing for [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!”
