Muzza confirms: I’m done after Paris

Andy Murray is set to draw the curtain on his exceptional tennis career with the Scot confirming on Tuesday – as expected – that he will call it quits after the Paris Olympics.

The 37-year-old former No. 1 with three Grand Slam titles had served notice months ago that 2024 would be his last season, but had not confirmed an exact timetable.

That mystery is now solved by his latest social media post:

“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” he wrote on Twitter/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 Scot has had nearly a decade of injury troubles, with major hip surgery half a decade ago.

Murray already owns gold from the 2012 London Games and 2016 Rio

The double Wimbledon winner has been the hallmark of the British game ever since his breakthrough as he broke the decades-long hoodoo which had prevented a British home champion until he got the job done in 2013.

He repeated the trophy act in 2016; his last Tour singles match came last month at Queen’s Club, London, where he retired with a back injury five games into his second-round match with Jordan Thompson.

He entered Wimbledon doubles with brother James, with that pair eliminated in the opening round.

Murray will aim for doubles success in Paris alongside National No. 3 Dan Evans.

Play in Paris begins on Saturday with medal rounds scheduled from August 2.
