<h2>Andy Murray to retire</h2>

“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics Competing for GB have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time!,” Murray wrote on his X handle on Tuesday.

It was speculated that Murray will announce his retirement after the 2024 ATP tour, but as things stand, he will retire after the Paris Olympics. He recently bowed out of the Wimbledon having been knocked out of the men’s doubles and pulled out of the men’s singles. However, it was Emma Raducanu’s withdrawal in the mixed doubles that ended his Wimbledon career.

Murray will go down in the history books as one of the greatest British players having ended the nation’s Wimbledon title drought in 2013. He became the first Britisher since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title in 2013, having won the gold medal at the same venue in the 2012 London Olympics. Murray repeated the feat in 2016 when he won the Wimbledon singles title again beating Novak Djokovic in the final while also winning the Rio Olympic gold.

The Wimbledon title in 2016 was also his last Grand Slam singles title as&nbsp;injuries halted his career thereafter.

Murray has spoken about his long-term retirement on a number of occasions in the past. Asked if he would move into the commentary box, he turned down the opportunity and instead suggested that a career in coaching could await.

Andy Murray confirms retirement plans after Paris Olympics, to draw curtains after more than two decades

Andy Murray will miss the Monte Carlo Masters and Munich Open next month as he recovers from a severe ankle injury sustained during his exit from the Miami Open, the Briton's team announced on Friday.

The 36-year-old rolled his ankle in the deciding set of his 5-7 7-5 7-6(5) defeat by Czech Tomas Machac in southern Florida last Sunday and had said that he would be out for an "extended period" on the sidelines with ruptured ligaments.

"Following consultation with his team and medical experts, Andy Murray has taken the decision to miss the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters and BMW Open Munich," a statement from his team read.

"At this stage, it is still not clear how long Andy will be out of action, and he is continuing to review options with his medical team.

"Obviously this is disappointing news for Andy and he has reiterated his desire to get back on court as soon as possible."

He had also said he hoped to play at the French Open, which starts at Roland Garros on May 26.

Wimbledon, where Murray has twice been champion, will begin on July 1 and the Paris Games get underway later that month.

The Monte Carlo Masters will be held April 7-14, and the Munich Open April 15-21.
