The tennis player, who will represent Great Britain for the fifth time at the Olympics, confirmed on X (ex-Twitter) on Tuesday 23 July that he will retire after the Olympic tournament, which he will play in singles and doubles with Daniel Evans. I have arrived in Paris for my final ever tennis tournament. Competing for Great Britain has been by far the most memorable few weeks of my career and I am extremely proud to be doing it one last time. ” he wrote. A former world number one and winner of three Grand Slam tournaments (US Open 2012 and Wimbledon 2013 and 2016), Murray, 37, is also a double Olympic champion, a unique achievement in men’s singles. In 2012 in London, he won the final against the Swiss Roger Federer, and in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, he retained his title by dominating the Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro.
