British tennis star Andy Murray has revealed his readiness to quit playing after the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris, France.
Murray disclosed this via his X platform.
He wrote, “Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament.
“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!”
Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, played competitively at SW19 for one last time earlier this month when he was knocked out of the doubles in the first round alongside his brother Jamie.
A back injury had threatened Murray’s participation at Wimbledon and he left it until the final moment before pulling out of the singles.
At the Paris Olympics, Murray, 37, is planning to play in the singles and doubles at what will be his fifth Games.
The Scot’s first Games appearance was in Beijing in 2008, when he lost in straight sets to Lu Yen-hsun in the first round.
Four years later, Murray swiftly put the disappointment of a Wimbledon final defeat by Roger Federer behind him, defeating the Swiss in straight sets at London 2012 to win gold.
The Briton became the first male tennis player to win two Olympic singles titles when he beat Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro at Rio 2016.
