Paris 2024 tennis: Andy Murray bows out of Olympic doubles to draw the curtain on a decorated career – News Sports

Thank you, Andy Murray.

Tennis great plays last match of career.

The Brit announced this would be his final tournament just before the Olympic Games – he is an Olympic champion in singles from 2012 and 2016, as well a three-time Grand Slam winner, but has exited together with Dan Evans in the men’s doubles.

Having saved match point earlier in the week against Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul of USA – as well as a total of eight this tournament – the Brits win with Fritz/Paul converting their second chance 6-2 [10/8] to reach the quarter-finals.

The end of a shiny road.

As the crowd on Court Suzanne-Lenglen starts chanting his name, Murray embraces Evans. He does acknowledge it, waves to the crowd and walks away with his bag. He has tears in his eyes as he arrives to sign a few autographs.
