Andy Murray, the three-time grand slam champion, has announced his intention to retire after the Olympic Games. Currently competing in the men’s doubles tournament alongside Dan Evans, Murray faces uncertainty as he battles Japan’s Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori, with the British duo currently a set down.

Struggling with injuries in recent years, Murray remains determined to end his illustrious career on a high note. Opting to withdraw from the singles tournament just before the Games commenced, he shifted his focus to the doubles event.

Despite feeling mentally young, Murray acknowledges the physical toll his body has endured over the past few years. At 37 years old, he already boasts two Olympic gold medals from his victories in the singles tournament in 2012 and 2016.

Securing a medal in this year’s doubles draw would serve as a fitting conclusion to his remarkable career. However, Murray faces a challenging path ahead as he strives to achieve this final accolade.
