Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics
Competing for 🇬🇧 have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time! pic.twitter.com/keqnpvSEE1— Andy Murray (@andy_murray) July 23, 2024
– Murray, who has won two gold medals in singles (2012, 2016) and a silver medal in mixed (2012 with Laura Robson), will be competing in his 5th Olympics (2008, 2012, 2016, 2020)
– Andy was also the GB flag bearer in Rio 2016
– He had been firm about retiring at some point this year after a couple of years plagued by injuries after extensive surgery but vague about the exact date
– After injury during the grass court season there was doubt he would be able to play in the Olympics but he has arrived in Paris and confirmed this will be his last tournament
– “It is hard because I want to keep playing, but I can’t. Physically it’s too tough now. I want to play forever. I love the sport.”
