Andy Murray confirms Paris Olympics will be final ever tennis tournament

The curtain will soon be coming down on Murray's career

The 37-year-old has travelled to Paris as part of Team GB to compete in the tennis, having won gold at both the 2012 and 2016 games.

In a post on X on Tuesday morning, he said representing Great Britain at the Olympics has given him "the most memorable weeks" of his career.

He said: "Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics.

"Competing for [Great Britain] have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time!"

One fan commented: "Very best wishes for your final tournament. You will be sorely missed. You have done the UK proud. Here's to happiness and success in all the future brings."

Another said: "You are such a wonderful tennis player and role model. Your dedication and especially your success (Grand Slams, Olympic gold) make you a true inspiration."

A third wrote: "I saw you play both singles and mixed doubles in London 2012. One of the highlights of my life! Good luck for Paris."

The tennis at the Paris Olympics will take place on the clay of Roland Garros, and Murray is set to take part in the men's singles and doubles.

For months now, Murray has said he doesn't plan to play much tennis after the Olympics.

However, this is the first time he has officially confirmed that the games will be his final tournament.

Earlier this month, the Scot bid an emotional farewell to Wimbledon after he lost in the first round of the men's doubles alongside his brother Jamie on Centre Court.

He said in June that retiring after Wimbledon or the Olympics would be "fitting", given the success he has had at both tournaments.
