Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray has announced he will retire from tennis after the Paris Olympics, bringing an end to his 19-year career.

Murray, 37, withdrew from the Wimbledon singles championship earlier this month after failing to recover in time from a spinal cyst procedure. However, he did manage to bid farewell to the All England Club with a double match alongside his brother, Jamie, before receiving an on-court tribute.

Murray had previously said he would not play this season’s hard court swing, meaning his final chance to play would come at Roland Garros at the Olympics. On Tuesday, he confirmed this will be his final appearance.

“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” Murray wrote on X.

“Competing for Team GB has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time!”

The draw for the tennis tournament will take place on Thursday, when Murray will learn who his first opponent will be. He is scheduled to play in the men’s singles tournament, as well as the doubles competition alongside Dan Evans.

Murray is a two-time Olympic gold medallist having won back-to-back titles at London 2012 and Rio 2016, each bookstopping the most successful period of his career.

Murray’s triumph at London 2012, where he won in the final with a straight-sets victory over Roger Federer, was his first major title. He followed it up by lifting his first Grand Slam title a month later, this time beating Novak Djokovic.

He went on to win at his next appearance at the All England club the following year before lifting the title for a second time in 2016.

Since then, Murray has faced a multitude of injury issues. He briefly retired in 2019 following two hip surgeries. His last ATP tournament victory came at Antwerp in October 2019.
