Andy Murray officially confirms imminent retirement date with next tournament being his last

Andy Murray has confirmed he will retire after the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and has said that it will be his 'last ever tennis tournament'. This after his retirement was shrouded in a bit of mystery.
Murray had never formally announced his retirement date with the Brit deciding instead to leave it up in the air with the Olympic Games being the last tournament he is signed up to play.
The former World No.1 previously said that he would go on holiday after the Olympic Games with his family and wasn't signed up for anything else. But he did appear as an alternate in the draw for the US Open so there was a bit of confusion.
Now though that has been put to bed with the multiple Grand Slam champion and Olympic gold medalist confirming on social media that the Olympic Games will be his last. He is slated to play doubles in Paris and won't get the grand farewell he got at Wimbledon. But the tournament that has brought him a lot of success was seen as the end point.
Also additionally he recently had surgery on a spinal cyst which saw him bow out of Wimbledon without playing and he only played men's doubles. So in reality, he wants to bow out with a final stand as opposed to having one match at Wimbledon with Emma Raducanu also snubbing their mixed doubles tandem to not allow him another farewell.
"Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics," he wrote on X. "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!"
It has been an ongoing storyline for sometime with Murray with journalists accusing him of tarnishing his legacy after embarking on a losing streak. But he announced after initially being defiant that the 2024 season would be his last and he wouldn't play much after the summer as one of the greats leaves the sport.
