Two-time Olympic men’s singles champion Andy Murray announced Tuesday that he will retire after competing in the Paris Games next week.
“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” the 37-year-old Murray posted on the X social media platform.
Tennis at the Paris Olympics will commence Saturday on the clay courts at Roland Garros.
Murray secured his first gold medal on grass at Wimbledon during the 2012 London Olympics, defeating Roger Federer in straight sets. He successfully defended his title in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, beating Juan Martin del Potro on hard courts.
“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!” Murray stated on Tuesday.
Murray underwent hip replacement surgery in 2019 and has dealt with several injuries since then. He recently withdrew from singles at Wimbledon this month following a procedure to remove a cyst from his spine.
