Andy Murray’s final match came alongside his doubles partner Dan Evans for Team GB at the Olympics last Thursday (August 1), when they were beaten in the quarter-finals by the Team US pair of Tommy Pual and Taylor Fritz.
The Queen’s Clubs Championship is the accolade Murray has won the most in his career, having won five times in the singles rounds (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016) and once more in the doubles in 2019 with partner Feliciano López.
Speaking on the news, Scott Lloyd, CEO of the Lawn Tennis Association, said: “Andy is the greatest tennis player ever to come from this country and a giant of British sport. His contribution to the game is immense and has bought us all so many moments of pride. He was relentless in his pursuit of excellence and had a single-minded determination to succeed.”
The Scot played his game in an era of dominance from three of the greatest players of all time in Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal – and held up to defeat them or push them to the brink on many an occasion.
Sir Andy Murray retires at the age of 37 with two Wimbledon titles to his name (2013, 2016) as well as a victory in the US Open final of 2012. He is also a two-time Olympic Champion (London 2012 and Rio 2016), which makes it all the more fitting that Paris 2024 should be where he chose to play his final matches.
