Judy Murray has arguably been Andy Murray’s biggest supporter throughout his fantastic tennis career.
But Andy Murray has now decided to retire from tennis, having exited the Olympics men’s doubles in Paris.
Bjorn Borg congratulated Murray after his retirement, with the Scot having lost with Dan Evans in the French capital.
Rafael Nadal also sent an emotional message to Murray, who won three Grand Slam titles throughout his career.
He and Evans can certainly hold their heads high, with their dream Olympics run ended by American stars Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.
Judy Murray notices something ‘spooky’ after Andy Murray retires
Murray’s 46 titles include two Wimbleon wins and one US Open win, along with two Olympics gold medals.
It wasn’t meant to be in Paris this time around, but his mother Judy remains in high spirits despite her son’s emotional tennis farewell.
“Andy’s final match lasted 77 minutes. Spooky,” Judy Murray posted on X. “Wimbledon 2013 was on 7/7. It was 77 years since a Brit won the men’s singles. He named his management company 77.”
Andy Murray brings an end to his stunning career
Judy Murray can be extremely proud of her son’s efforts, with Andy’s resilience typified by his run at the Olympics.
The Scot has been massively struggling with injury problems in recent years, with those issues forcing him to miss the Wimbledon singles event.
That was repeated in Paris, but fortunately the 37-year-old was able to once again compete in the men’s doubles.
An early men’s doubles exit was suffered alongside his brother Jamie at the All England Club, but Murray and Evans enjoyed a much lengthier stay in the French capital.
The veteran retires a legendary figure inside and outside of tennis, but it remains to be seen what will come next following his retirement.
