Jamie Murray, the first British doubles player to reach world No 1, has announced his retirement from professional tennis after a storied 36-year career. The 40-year-old elder brother of two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, has been working as a pundit for Sky Sports Tennis and ends his career with an impressive record of 34 doubles titles, including seven Grand Slam championships. Murray played a pivotal role in Great Britain's 2015 Davis Cup triumph, partnering his brother to doubles victories in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final victory over Belgium in Ghent. He expressed his gratitude to his family and supporters, saying, 'I feel very fortunate and privileged for all the amazing experiences this great sport has given me.' Murray's retirement marks the end of an era, but he will continue to be involved in the sport as the tournament director at the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club.
