Andy Murray Announces Retirement After Paris Olympics

Andy Murray has announced that he will retire from professional tennis after competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking the end of a distinguished career that includes two Olympic gold medals. The 37-year-old former world number one expressed his pride in representing Great Britain one last time, highlighting the significance of his Olympic experiences since his debut in 2008. Murray confirmed his participation in both singles and doubles events at the Paris Games, which will take place from July 27 to August 4. His illustrious career has been marred by injuries, including a hip replacement in 2019 and recent back surgery, which led to his withdrawal from Wimbledon. As he prepares to leave the sport, discussions about a potential statue at Wimbledon to honor his contributions have begun. Murray's legacy includes being the only male player to win back-to-back Olympic singles golds, achieved in London 2012 and Rio 2016.
