Andy Murray has declared he will retire from tennis after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The 37-year-old is planning to play in the singles and doubles in Paris, in what will be his fifth Games.
“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” Murray wrote on X.
“Competing for Team GB has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time!”
The Scot’s first Games entrance was in Beijing in 2008, when he lost in straight sets to Lu Yen-Hsun in the first round.
Murray put the dissatisfaction of a Wimbledon final defeat to Roger Federer weeks earlier by beating the Swiss at London 2012 to win gold.
Murray became the first male tennis player to victory two Olympic singles titles four years later when he beat Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro in Rio.
The three-time Grand Slam winner has fought back from career-saving hip surgery in January 2019.
Murray, a two-time Wimbledon champion, played competitively at SW19 for one last time earlier this month when he was bashed out of the doubles in the first round alongside his brother Jamie.
A back injury had threatened Murray’s participation at Wimbledon and he left it until the final moment before pulling out of the singles.
Speaking after his overthrow at Wimbledon, Murray said: “It is hard because I want to keep playing, but I can’t.
“Physically it’s too tough now. I want to play forever. I love the sport.”
The Scot said earlier this year that he was “not planning to play much beyond the summer” but hoped to contest in Paris.
