Andy Murray Retires Following Olympic Exit

Andy Murray has retired from professional tennis after a straight-set defeat in the Olympic men’s doubles quarter-finals. Murray and his partner Dan Evans lost 6-2, 6-4 to American third seeds Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul. The 37-year-old Murray confirmed that Paris 2024 would be his final event, expressing pride in his career achievements and the effort he put into the sport.

Visibly emotional after the match, he waved to the appreciative Roland Garros crowd before leaving the court. Murray, who turned professional in 2005, won 46 ATP titles including three Grand Slam titles: the 2012 US Open and Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016. He also led Britain to Davis Cup victory in 2015.
