Tuesday, July 23, 2024 Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray has announced he will retire from tennis after the Paris Olympics, bringing an end to his 19-year career.
Murray, 37, withdrew from the Wimbledon
singles championship earlier this month after failing to recover in time from a
spinal cyst procedure.
However, he did manage to bid farewell to
the All England Club with a double match alongside his brother, Jamie, before
receiving an on-court tribute.
Murray has said in the past that he would not play this season's
hard-court swing, meaning his final chance to play would come at Roland Garros
at the Olympics. On Tuesday, he confirmed this will be his final appearance.
"Arrived in Paris for my last ever
tennis tournament," Murray wrote on X Tuesday morning, July 22.
"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!"
