Tennis legend Andy Murray confirmed that his appearance in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games will mark the end of his professional career.

Andy Murray will soon be serving up his last matches.

The tennis legend confirmed that after he represents Great Britan at the 2024 Olympics this summer in Paris, he will retire from his professional career.

“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics,” he captioned a July 23 Instagram post, featuring an image from a prior Olympic appearance. “Competing for [Great Britain] have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time!”

Throughout his career, the 37-year-old has competed in four Olympic Games—making Paris his fifth appearance—and has won three medals, including a gold singles medal at Rio in 2016 plus a gold singles title and a silver for mixed doubles at the 2012 Games in London.

Andy’s announcement comes just weeks after he was given an emotional sendoff at Wimbledon, where he played alongside his brother Jamie Murray in what ultimately became his last match at the Grand Slam tournament.

Following the brothers’ first-round loss, Andy was immediately honored with a standing ovation and an on-court ceremony commemorating a career that spanned two decades and earned three Grand Slam titles.

In a video message featuring peers and rivals such as Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, Venus Williams took a moment to applaud Andy’s support for women’s tennis, of which he has always been a staunch and outspoken advocate.

As Rafael put it, “We were proud to play against you,” followed by Roger adding, “And with you.”

In conversation with former British player Sue Barker following his last match, Andy reflected on the injuries that hurried the end of his career.

“It is hard because I would love to keep playing but I can’t,” he admitted. “Physically it is too tough now, all of the injuries, they have added up and they haven’t been insignificant.”

“I want to play forever,” Andy—dad to daughters Sophia, 8, and Edie, 6, as well as son Teddy, 4, and a third daughter with wife Kim Sears—continued. “I love the sport and it’s given me so much. It’s taught me loads of lessons over the years I can use for the rest of my life. I don’t want to stop.”

But for an athlete whose impact was felt on and off the court, Andy’s legacy will last.

As Wimbledon wrote on its Instagram page in a message to Andy, “You made us dream. You made us believe. You made us cry. And you made us proud.”

A legend

Andy Murray, born on May 15, 1987, in Scotland, has left an indelible mark on the world of tennis as one of Britain’s greatest athletes. Known for his tenacity, tactical brilliance, and defensive prowess, Murray’s career is defined by his ability to compete at the highest level and overcome significant challenges.

Murray burst onto the international tennis scene in the mid-2000s, quickly establishing himself as a formidable opponent with his powerful groundstrokes and exceptional court coverage. His breakthrough came in 2012 when he won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open, followed by a historic victory at Wimbledon in 2013, ending Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s singles champion.

Throughout his career, Murray consistently ranked among the top players in the world, earning three Grand Slam titles and reaching the finals of multiple major tournaments. His resilience and determination were perhaps most evident during his battle with hip injuries, which threatened to prematurely end his career. After undergoing surgery and enduring a grueling rehabilitation process, Murray staged a remarkable comeback to continue competing at the elite level.

Off the court, Murray is known for his philanthropy and advocacy, supporting various charitable causes and promoting equality in sports. His impact on British and global tennis is profound, inspiring a new generation of players and cementing his legacy as one of the sport’s modern greats.
