Andy Murray says it is the "right time" for him to retire from tennis after the Paris Olympics - and he is "happy" with the decision.Murray, 37, said recent injuries, which prevented him playing singles in his Wimbledon farewell earlier this month, mean he is now content with ending his career.
Murray said his back issue will likely prevent him from entering the singles in Paris - a decision which must be made before Thursday's draw - but he and Evans are capable of doing "very well" in the doubles."That gives the team and us the best opportunity to get a medal. Either British pair could be drawn against high-profile opponents, including 14-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal and his fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz – the Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion.Murray's final match at Wimbledon was expected to be in the mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu but his fellow BritonSpeaking for the first time on the incident, Murray said he and Raducanu have not spoken since her withdrawal, but he respected her decision.
Asked about his plans following retirement, Murray said he wanted to spend more time with his family, "become a scratch golfer" but would "love" to be involved in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics "in some capacity".
