SIR Andy Murray will call time on his two-decade long tennis career at the conclusion of the 2024 Paris Olympics, after announcing his retirement via social media this week. The two-time singles gold medallist stands alone as the only player to achieve the feat, with the legend set to battle against the odds for an incredible third gold.

Murray will compete in both the singles and doubles for Great Britain, with the Scot pairing up with Daniel Evans in the latter. Outside his breakthrough Wimbledon title, the most memorable Murray match was his victory over Roger Federer in the Gold Medal match in 2012.

He then did something that no one else in history has been able to do, and defended his crown with a second gold medal by defeating Juan Martin del Potro in a memorable 2016 Olympic Games final in Rio de Janeiro.

Murray is not short on accolades, having also won 46 ATP Tour titles and three Grand Slam trophies, as well as having the coveted world number one spot. In his second Wimbledon-winning year of 2016, her also made Grand Slam finals in both Melbourne and Paris, losing to then world number one Novak Djokovic in both.

The former world number one claimed his first US Open title in 2012 just after his Olympic Gold, and then went on to win his home Grand Slam twice in 2013 and 2016, with three of his five biggest accomplishments coming in London. He also has 14 ATP Masters 1000 titles, the fifth most since 1990.

“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics,” Murray wrote on X. “Competing for Great Britain have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time!”
