For Murray, it's the end: "Arriving in Paris for my last tournament".
A huge page in tennis history is about to be turned.
After a very disappointing 2024 season, in which his physical condition continued to complicate his life, Andy Murray confirmed something we all already knew: the Paris Olympic Games will indeed be his last professional tournament.
Indeed, his message posted on X leaves little room for doubt: "Arrived in Paris for my last tournament.
The times I've competed for the UK have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career, and I'm extremely proud to be able to do so one last time!"
Forced to forfeit the singles on home soil at Wimbledon, the Scot was able to console himself by playing doubles with his brother.
The time has now come for the former world number 1 to do his last dance before a well-deserved retirement.
All that remains is to hope that the only player to have regularly challenged the domination of the "big three" will be entitled to a beautiful ceremony and a few fine matches to finish on a high note.
Murray won gold at both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.
He is not the British #1 player, that's Jack Draper, with Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans & Billy Harris in that order. Andy is currently #5. Unless of course that's provided the aforementioned players have expressed a wish not to represent their country.
