The last dance! 🥹 Two-time Olympic #gold medallist @andy_murray announces #Paris2024 will be his last-ever tournament.
Britain’s tennis star Andy Murray has withdrawn from the singles event in the Paris Olympics. The mega-event is set to begin on July 26 in the capital of France, and athletes from all over the world will participate to showcase their talent and secure ultimate glory for their respective countries.
Murray, who is often regarded as the greatest British player in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era, has withdrawn from the singles category of the upcoming event, according to Sky Sports News. The former world number one was also quoted in a report, explaining the reason behind his drastic decision.

“I've take the decision to withdraw from the singles to concentrate on the doubles with Dan," he siad. "Our practice has been great and we're playing well together. Really looking forward to getting started and representing GB one more time.” The news will be a big disappointment for hundreds and thousands of Murray’s fans who would have been hoping to see him play in the singles category at least once before eventually retiring at the end of the competition.
The Glasgow-born star has already confirmed that he will quit professional tennis at the end of the Paris Olympics. Murray has consistently struggled with fitness problems, and because of this, he announced his retirement from the sport in 2018 as well. However, he returned to the court soon after, much to the delight of his fans.
Since then, Murray has managed to play at the highest level but with not much success. Earlier this year, the three-time Grand Slam winner announced that he was looking to retire after Wimbledon and Paris Olympics. Soon after, Murray suffered another injury, which ruled him out of the singles category event at Wimbledon. In an interview, Murray recently announced that the Paris Olympics will be his last event at the highest level.
