Andy Murray To Retire Following 2024 Paris Olympics

Scottish tennis great Andy Murray confirmed that the 2024 Summer Olympics will be his final tournament to cap off his career. “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,” Murray tweeted on X.

A series of injuries resulted in the three-time Grand Slam champion vocalizing his retirement plans. “This year’s been tough with the ankle, then the back surgery and the hip. I’m ready to be finished playing because I can’t play to the level that I would want to anymore,” Murray told the Wimbledon crowd. “Even though it was a doubles match where it’s not as demanding, it’s still really hard for me.”

Murray could have had a farewell at Wimbledon, but a back injury robbed him of the opportunity.

The Scottish native has had quite the career as he is the only player to win two Olympic gold medals in singles – he won these at the 2012 and 2016 summer Olympic games while reaching the Grand Slam eleven times, winning three times. Murray prevailed over Roger Federer in London and Juan Martin del Potro in Rio de Janeiro. He also won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 while winning the U.S. Open in 2012. In addition, the Scot led Great Britain to a 2015 Davis Cup victory and became the world’s top tennis player for 41 weeks in 2016.
