Andy Murray has drawn his tennis career to an end after bowing out of the Olympics men’s doubles alongside Dan Evans to a 6-2, 6-4 straight-sets defeat in a quarter-finals defeat to the American pair Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.
Murray ended his 19-year career as a two-time Olympic champion, a three-time Grand Slam champion, the US Open in 2012, and Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016. He has also twice been crowned Olympic men's singles champion, at London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as a mixed doubles silver alongside Laura Robson. He is also a former world No. 1 and arguably Britain's greatest-ever athlete.
Murray told reporters afterward,
"I'm proud of my career. I worked really, really hard to achieve the results I did at a really difficult time to win the major titles. I'm proud. I gave it a good go. How my body has finished up shows I've put it through a lot. So I'm looking forward to a rest now."
