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Britain’s tennis star Andy Murray has withdrawn from the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in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era, has withdrawn from the singles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.
