Andy Murray’s career will come to an end at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, but the former world No. 1 would prefer to go without much fanfare, according to his old Davis Cup teammate Dominic Inglot.
Murray made his retirement from professional tennis for the 2024 season known earlier in the year. The three-time Grand Slam winner has declared that his final professional competition will be the Olympic Games in Paris.
Murray is unlikely to receive the same emotional send-off in Paris, despite having one at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. The International Olympic Committee does not offer a venue for celebrations and ceremonies to honour particular athletes at their competition.
Retired tennis player Inglot, who played alongside Murray in the 2015 Davis Cup, where Britain won the championship, feels that his countryman would rather not have a grand farewell.
Inglot talked about it recently and said: “I’m not sure he really wants that or needs that. I don’t think Andy is someone who needs a big send off and he feels a little awkward in there. We saw that creeping in when he had his last send-off at Wimbledon. He will be sharing it with his close friends at the British team and the fact that it is a little understated for him is better. Let me tell you, the moment you retire, it hits you like a ton of bricks. He would prefer to deal with that in private.”
