Paris: Two-time Olympic men’s singles champion Andy Murray confirmed on Tuesday that he will end his career next week at the Paris Games.
“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 starts Saturday on the clay courts at Roland Garros.
Murray won his first gold medal on grass at Wimbledon during the 2012 London Olympics, beating Roger Federer in three straight sets, and retained his title in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 by defeating Juan Martin del Potro on hard courts. “Competing for (Britain) has been by far the most memorable week of my career, and I’m extremely proud to do it one final time!” Murray said on Tuesday.
Murray had hip replacement surgery in 2019 and has faced several subsequent injuries. He withdrew from singles at Wimbledon this month after a procedure to remove a cyst from his spine
