Andy Murray, the retired British tennis player, has brought an end to his successful career. The 37-year-old played his final match as a professional in the quarter-finals of the Olympics men’s doubles, but not before achieving several milestones.

On the first day of his retirement, Murray spent time at the Team GB Performance Lodge in north-west Paris, where he was cheered by other British athletes who formed a guard of honour. Murray expressed his gratitude for their support, while also sitting down for a round of interviews with British cycling legend Chris Hoy and others.
Murray has stated that he looks forward to spending time with his wife and four children and embarking on a family holiday in Spain.
