Paris Olympics will be final tournament of my career says Andy Murray

Murray, the first male player to win two Olympic singles gold medals, achieved this feat by winning in London 2012 against Roger Federer and successfully defending his title in Rio four years later by defeating Juan Martin del Potro.

Despite being plagued by injuries, Murray made history in 2013 by ending a 77-year wait for a British men's singles champion at Wimbledon and winning the trophy again in 2016.

The tennis star, who was knighted in 2017 for his contributions to tennis and charity, expressed his pride in representing Britain and competing in the Olympics for the last time.

International Tennis Federation chief Dave Haggerty praised Murray for embodying the values of tennis, championing equality, and leaving a lasting impact on the sport through his achievements, including two Olympic gold medals, Grand Slam victories, and a Davis Cup win with Great Britain in 2015.

As Murray's competitive career comes to a close, Haggerty acknowledged that the tennis legend's passion for the sport will continue to drive his involvement in its global development.

Murray had a heartfelt goodbye at Wimbledon, where he won two of his three major titles. He had surgery to remove a spinal cyst and decided he wasn't fit for singles competition.

He hoped to play mixed doubles at Wimbledon, but his partner withdrew due to injury. Murray will compete in both singles and doubles at the Olympics, his fifth and final Games.

He's had a successful career, but injuries have taken a toll. Murray said he's ready to finish playing because he can't perform at the level he wants anymore.
