Andy Murray has confirmed that the Paris Olympics will be his ‘last-ever tennis tournament’.
The 37-year-old is calling time on an incredible career which has seen him win three Grand Slams, 46 ATP Tour singles titles, and two Olympic gold medals.
Murray had hoped to enjoy a swansong at Wimbledon earlier this summer but a back injury forced him out of the men’s singles draw and Emma Raducanu withdrew from their mixed doubles arrangement with a wrist problem.
In Paris he plans to compete in the singles and mixed doubles in what will be his fifth Olympic Games.
He wrote on X: ‘Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament.

‘Competing for Great Britain have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time!’
He recently told HELLO! magazine: ‘I’ll definitely still be playing tennis. Just not on the Tour.
‘I plan to play a lot more golf, and I’ll probably carry on working with my strength and conditioning coach, Matt Little, as I transfer from being a full-time athlete and adjusting to not needing to do quite so much.’
