Jamie Murray, a seven-time Grand Slam champion and the first British doubles player to reach world No 1, has announced his retirement from professional tennis after a 36-year journey. The 40-year-old, who has been working as a pundit for Sky Sports Tennis, hangs up his racket with a legacy that includes 34 doubles titles and a pivotal role in Great Britain's 2015 Davis Cup triumph. Murray expressed his gratitude to his family, particularly his brother Andy, and all those who supported him throughout his career.
He will now take on the role of tournament director at the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club. Murray's retirement marks the end of an era, but his achievements will continue to inspire future generations of tennis players.
With a record of 14 wins from 20 doubles matches in the Davis Cup, Murray has left an indelible mark on the sport. His brother Andy paid tribute to him, highlighting their journey together and the memories they created on and off the court. Murray's impressive career includes two Wimbledon mixed doubles titles, the 2016 Australian and US Open men's doubles titles, and a total of 1,019 ATP Tour-level matches, with 589 wins.
He will be remembered as a Grand Slam champion, Davis Cup winner, Olympian, and world No 1.
