Andy Murray, who has won the Olympic men’s singles gold medal twice, confirmed on 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 shared on social media platform X. Tennis matches for the Paris Olympics will begin on Saturday at Roland Garros, played on clay courts.
Murray’s first Olympic gold came on grass at Wimbledon during the 2012 London Games, where he defeated Roger Federer in three sets.
He defended his title at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, triumphing over Juan Martin del Potro on hard courts.
“Representing (Britain) has been the most memorable week of my career, and I’m incredibly proud to do it one final time!” Murray stated on Tuesday.
Since undergoing hip replacement surgery in 2019 and facing subsequent injuries, Murray withdrew from Wimbledon singles earlier this month after a procedure to remove a cyst from his spine.
