Andy Murray has confirmed that he will retire from professional tennis after the Paris Olympics, saying it will be his “last ever tennis tournament.”
The 37-year-old, a three-time grand slam champion, will be appearing at his fifth Games and is the only man in history to win two Olympic singles gold medals. Murray was unable to play in the singles competition in the final Wimbledon tournament of his career earlier this month after undergoing surgery on a spinal cyst, but got an emotional farewell playing doubles with his brother Jamie on Centre Court.
Murray won the first Olympic gold of his career at London 2012 after beating Roger Federer in straight sets just weeks after a heartbreaking defeat to the Swiss in the Wimbledon final. That victory proved to be the catalyst for Murray’s first triumph in SW19 the following year as he became the first British man in 77 years to lift the Wimbledon trophy. Murray then defended his Olympic title four years later in Rio, defeating Juan Martín del Potro in the final.
