The tennis legend confirmed that after he represents Great Britan at the 2024 Olympics this summer in Paris, he will retire from his professional career.
“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics,” he captioned a July 23 Instagram post, featuring an image from a prior Olympic appearance. “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!”
Throughout his career, the 37-year-old has competed in four Olympic Games—making Paris his fifth appearance—and has won three medals, including a gold singles medal at Rio in 2016 plus a gold singles title and a silver for mixed doubles at the 2012 Games in London.
Andy’s announcement comes just weeks after he was given an emotional sendoff at Wimbledon, where he played alongside his brother Jamie Murray in what ultimately became his last match at the Grand Slam tournament.
Following the brothers’ first-round loss, Andy was immediately honored with a standing ovation and an on-court ceremony commemorating a career that spanned two decades and earned three Grand Slam titles.
In a video message featuring peers and rivals such as Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, Venus Williams took a moment to applaud Andy’s support for women’s tennis, of which he has always been a staunch and outspoken advocate.
As Rafael put it, “We were proud to play against you,” followed by Roger adding, “And with you.”
In conversation with former British player Sue Barker following his last match, Andy reflected on the injuries that hurried the end of his career.
“It is hard because I would love to keep playing but I can’t,” he admitted. “Physically it is too tough now, all of the injuries, they have added up and they haven’t been insignificant.”
“I want to play forever,” Andy—dad to daughters Sophia, 8, and Edie, 6, as well as son Teddy, 4, and a third daughter with wife Kim Sears—continued. “I love the sport and it’s given me so much. It’s taught me loads of lessons over the years I can use for the rest of my life. I don’t want to stop.”
But for an athlete whose impact was felt on and off the court, Andy’s legacy will last.
As Wimbledon wrote on its Instagram page in a message to Andy, “You made us dream. You made us believe. You made us cry. And you made us proud.”
