The 40-year-old Briton, who is the elder brother of two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, made the announcement on social media, stating, 'My tennis journey comes to an end after 36 years.' Murray, who has been working as a pundit for Sky Sports Tennis, expressed his gratitude for the experiences and support he received throughout his career.
