Scottish tennis star Andy Murray deployed his trademark dry sense of humor to mark his official retirement from the sport.
“Never even liked tennis anyway,” Murray wrote Thursday on X, formerly Twitter, in a post that’s now gone viral. The athlete’s bio on the platform was also changed from “I play tennis” to “I played tennis.”
Murray bowed out at the Paris Olympics, where he represented Great Britain in the men’s doubles tournament with Daniel Evans. His last competitive game was a quarterfinal doubles defeat to America’s Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz.
“I’m happy with how it’s finished,” Murray told reporters about the end of his career. “I’m glad that I got to go out here at the Olympics and finish on my terms, because at times in the last few years, that wasn’t a certainty,” he added, referring to recent injuries he’s suffered.
Murray won three Grand Slam tournaments and two Olympic gold medals in his 21-year career.
Fans thought his parting post on X was, well, ace.
