Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics Competing for 🇬🇧 have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time!
Britain’s tennis legend Andy Murray’s potential last match will
not be on the Center Court at the Paris Olympics. The mega-event officially began on Friday, and thousands of athletes from all over the world are participating
to showcase their talent and secure the ultimate prize.
Men’s tennis is bound to gather a lot of attraction as it is
likely to feature two of the best players in the recent times at the big stage for
the last time. One of them is Murray, who has announced that he will
quit professional tennis at the end of the Paris Olympics. The 37-year-old, who
is regarded as the greatest British player in men’s tennis in the singles
category in the Open era, is set to play in the doubles event with Dan Evans.
Interestingly, his potential last fixture will not be at the Centre Court at the Roland Garros. The two are set to face Japan’s pair of Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel at the Court Suzanne-Lenglen on Sunday. Murray has struggled with consistent fitness concerns throughout his career. It was because of this that he announced his retirement after the Australian
Open in 2018. However, much to the delight of his fans, Murray returned to
the court soon after and has continued to play at the highest level for a number
of years.

The Glasgow-born star announced earlier this season, after another ankle
injury which kept him out of action for two months, that he would consider
retirement from professional tennis at Wimbledon and Paris Olympics. The former world number one wish to play in front of the home crowd at Wimbledon in the singles category was not fulfilled as he suffered a back injury during Queen’s ATP Championship, for which he underwent surgery as well. After that, Murray
participated in the doubles category with his brother Jamie Murray, but the pair was defeated in the first round.
