It had already been hinted at: Andy Murray is retiring from professional tennis. The injury-plagued Brit will compete one last time in Paris.
As expected, two-time Olympic champion Andy Murray will end his tennis career after the Summer Games in France. He has arrived in Paris for his “last tennis tournament ever,” the 37-year-old wrote on the social media platform X. The Olympic starts for Great Britain were by far the most memorable weeks of his career, “and I am extremely proud that I can do it one last time!”
Andy Murray has been struggling with injury problems for years
Murray will be competing in his fifth Olympic Games at the Stade Roland Garros, and is registered for the singles and doubles competitions. In 2012, he won gold in the singles and silver in the mixed doubles at the home games in London, making them highlights of the event.
Four years later, the former world number one also won the Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro. In Brazil, he was also allowed to lead the British team into the Maracanã Stadium as flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
The Scot has been battling injury problems for years and now plays with an artificial hip. A cyst on his back recently prevented him from his last singles appearance at Wimbledon. Murray triumphed at the grass court classic in 2013 and 2016. He won his third Grand Slam tournament in 2012 at the US Open.
