Andy Murray has confirmed that the Paris Olympics will be the final tournament of his career
Andy Murray confirms that Paris Olympics will be his ‘last ever tournament. He had implied that he would not continue playing after Wimbledon and the Olympics, but has now confirmed this with a short statement on social media.
“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” said Murray. “Competing for Team GB have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time!”
Just a few weeks ago, Murray made an emotional farewell at Wimbledon after playing doubles with his brother Jamie, with a video that saw Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Venus Williams all pay tribute to the Scot.
The 37-year-old has recently been dealing with a back issue that he had spinal surgery on just a week before Wimbledon and meant that he could only compete in doubles. However, it seems that Murray currently intends to compete in both singles and doubles, with Dan Evans, in Paris.
The Paris Games will be Murray’s fifth Olympics, as he looks to add another medal to his two gold and one silver.
