Andy Murray officially retired from tennis at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where he played his final professional match alongside compatriot Dan Evans in doubles.
Earlier that summer, however, the Briton embarked on his last ever campaign at Wimbledon, partnered with his brother, Jamie Murray.
Andy had withdrawn from the singles competition, and Emma Raducanu, who was set to appear with him in mixed doubles, had pulled out to focus on her respective singles run, meaning he was solely featuring in men’s doubles.
How many Grand Slams would ‘prime’ Andy Murray win in 2026?
Where would he be ranked?
The two brothers lost to the Australian duo of John Peers and Rinky Hijikata in straight sets, before the three-time Grand Slam champion was honoured with a ceremony on Centre Court.
It was an emotional day for Andy, but also one that Jamie described as ‘an odd one’.
Jamie Murray reflects on Andy Murray’s last Wimbledon match
Speaking in an episode of ‘Off Court with Greg‘, Jamie, who recently announced his retirement from tennis, said of Andy’s final match: “It was very weird.
“I was there training to do as well as we could in the tournament and preparing the best I can, but knowing that he had stitches in his back and he couldn’t really move.
“His goal, I’m sure, was probably very different to what my goal was for the tournament! For me, in the end, I really wanted to make sure that he had a good experience and got what he wanted from it.
Would you consider Andy Murray a top 10 player of all time?
“Unfortunately, we lose but in a way it was probably a good thing, because the club had planned this huge goodbye and everything. It would have been a bit odd if we had won that match, because then what do you do for the next couple of days?
“I think it was good how it finished, but it was a weird atmosphere for me personally to play in. Obviously I wanted to do well in the tournament because I am still playing and it’s my career too.
“But you want him to have the best send off that he can in his potentially last ever match or last ever Wimbledon. It was an odd one, definitely.”
Andy Murray’s last year on the ATP Tour in singles
Andy struggled to get going in singles during his last year on tour in 2024, having won just six matches while recording 12 defeats.
The former world number one was winless in his first four tournament campaigns, suffering first-round exits in Brisbane, the Australian Open, Montpellier and Marseille.
Murray gained his first win of the season at the Qatar Open, beating Alexandre Muller before bowing out of the tournament to Jakub Mensik.
He picked up two more victories across Dubai and Indian Wells before putting together his best run of the season in Miami, where he reached the third round.
After that, however, Murray went on a three-match losing streak, which he ended at Queen’s by beating Alexei Popyrin, but he was then forced to retire from his second-round clash with Jordan Thompson, which ultimately marked his last ever singles match on the ATP Tour.
