Andy Murray, who participated in the 2024 Olympics in Paris, has officially retired from tennis.
With this choice, an amazing 19-year career full of noteworthy accomplishments and difficult personal decisions comes to an end.
At a momentous occasion, 37-year-old Murray declared that the Olympics will be his last competition, calling an end to his career as a professional tennis player.
Announcing his retirement via his X handle late Thursday, the athlete posted, “Never even liked tennis anyway.”
Murray’s last match was in the men’s doubles quarterfinals at Roland Garros, where he partnered with fellow Brit, Dan Evans.
They faced the American team of Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, ultimately losing 6-2, 6-4.
Despite the loss, Murray expressed pride in finishing his career on his own terms, a sentiment he emphasized given the uncertainties he faced in recent years due to injuries.
