Gold medalist Andy Murray of Britain reacts after receiving his medal in 2016 Rio Olympics - REUTERSpixAndy Murray, the first male player to capture two Olympic singles gold medals, said on Tuesday that the tennis competition at the Paris Games will be the final event of his glittering career before retirement.
The injury-plagued 37-year-old, who in 2013 ended a 77-year wait for a British men’s singles champion at Wimbledon and won the trophy again in 2016, had previously said he was unlikely to continue his career beyond this year.“Competing for Britain has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get do it one final time.”
The Scot, who had surgery on June 22 to remove a spinal cyst which was compressing his nerves and made him lose control and power in his right leg, had decided he was not fit enough for the demands of singles competition at the All England Club.
