Andy Murray’s tennis career ends with doubles defeat in Olympics quarter-finals

Andy Murray’s tennis career ended with a defeat in the doubles quarter-finals at the 2024 Olympics.

Murray and his partner Dan Evans lost 2-6 4-6 to American duo Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.

The 37-year-old said before the tournament in Paris that it would be the last of a glittering career.

He bows out of the game with three Grand Slam singles titles to his name as well as two Olympic gold medals.

Paul and Fritz looked to be comfortably on their way to victory after breezing through the first set before they served for the set at 5-2 in the second.

But it looked as though there could be another astonishing comeback on the cards, similar to the ones staged in their previous two ties, when they broke back before holding serve to take it to 5-4.

But there would be no miracle this time, with Fritz’s serve proving too strong as the Americans closed out the game and, as a result, Murray’s career.

The Scot recieved a rapturous applause from all four corners at Roland Garros, a reception which visibly made him emotional.
