Andy Murray has confirmed he will retire from tennis following the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The 37-year-old plans to compete in both singles and doubles in Paris, marking his fifth Olympic Games.

"Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament," Murray wrote on X. "Competing for Team GB has provided the most memorable weeks of my career, and I'm extremely proud to do it one final time!"

Murray's Olympic journey began in Beijing in 2008, where he lost in the first round to Lu Yen-hsun. He bounced back in 2012, winning gold in London by defeating Roger Federer in straight sets shortly after losing to him in the Wimbledon final. Murray then made history in Rio 2016 by becoming the first male tennis player to win two Olympic singles titles, triumphing over Juan Martin del Potro.

The three-time Grand Slam winner underwent hip surgery in January 2019, which saved his career. A two-time Wimbledon champion, Murray competed at SW19 for the last time earlier this month, exiting in the first round of doubles with his brother Jamie. A back injury had jeopardized his participation, leading him to withdraw from the singles and mixed doubles events, the latter due to Emma Raducanu's wrist injury.

Following his Wimbledon defeat, Murray expressed mixed emotions: "It's hard because I want to keep playing, but I can't. Physically, it's too tough now. I want to play forever. I love the sport."

Earlier this year, Murray hinted at retiring after the summer but aimed to compete in Paris. He will team up with Dan Evans, the British number three, in the doubles.
