Paris (France): Andy Murray, 37, former world no. 1 tennis player from Scotland, confirmed on social media on Tuesday that he will end his successful playing career following the Olympics in Paris.
Murray, a 46-time tour-level champion, will compete for Great Britain in the tennis competition in Paris from July 27 to August 4 at the Olympic Games for the sixth time. Murray, a two-time gold medallist in the men’s singles Olympic competition, will end his 20-year illustrious professional career.
“Arrived in Paris for my last-ever tennis tournament @Olympics. Competing for Great Britain has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time!” wrote Murray in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
In Paris, Murray will play both singles and doubles competitions (with Daniel Evans). In the London 2012 final, he defeated Roger Federer to win his first Olympic gold. In the thrilling Rio de Janeiro 2016 final, he defeated Juan Martin del Potro to retain his title.
