Knowing when to stop is a skill in itself for a professional athlete.
Murray himself told us earlier this year that there is no perfect ending.
But going out at an Olympics feels as fitting as it could be for the only male tennis player to win two singles gold medals.
Murray places his Games experiences – Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 – at the very top of his career.
Not just because of the medals. But also because of the atmosphere around the Village, meeting athletes from across the world who he would not usually encounter on the ATP Tour, swapping anecdotes and exchanging Olympic pin badges.
The perfect ending for Murray would be winning another gold in Paris.
You would not think that is likely based on the 37-year-old’s recent fitness and form. But would you also rule anything out from him?
Murray is a man whose storied career has been built around incredible talent, perseverance and a will to win that is almost unrivalled.
Everything will be left on the clay courts of Roland Garros, no doubt, before post-playing life starts with an already-booked family holiday.
