[Other Sport] Andy Murray

Got to love The Mail headline: Emma Raducanu Ends Andy Murray's Career!

She hasn't. He is playing at the Olympics.

One of the most successful British sports stars of the last 20 years and a thoroughly decent chap to boot. Your bitterness is bewildering.

Last 3 letters of the user name explains. (Apart from the missing K)

Confirmed that the Olympics will be his last ever tennis tournament. End of an era in British tennis.

Andy has pulled out of the singles at Paris but will still take part in the men’s doubles.

Means his last singles game was at Queens where he had to retire in the second round against Jordan Thompson. He must be really disappointed his injuries are preventing him saying a proper goodbye to the sport he so clearly loves.

Sadly a year too far for Andy Murray. Must be really tough to let it go, but should probably have bowed out of competitive tennis last year. Or the year before. Or the year his body told him to

I know he played with his brother at Wimbledon but Can hardly remember him playing doubles. Is he relly one of our 2 best doubles players to represent GB in Paris

He’s not played a massive amount of doubles but he did win a silver at the 2012 olympics partnering Laura Robson in the mixed doubles.

He and Jamie also won their doubles rubber when Britain won the Davis Cup in 2015.

We’ve also got Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski in the men’s doubles ranked at number 5 for the tournament. They are in with a shout of a medal, both have won multiple grand slam and tour titles in doubles tennis.

Raducanu did the right thing blowing Murray out IMHO. She's not in the sport to provide Murray with a farewell narrative

Maybe he enjoys it.

Clearly does. Same as every sportsman ever who was reluctant to relinquish the limelight

I think Murray's right to play until he's happy not to, but I do agree with this. I can't imagine Murray would have done anything different to Raducanu if the roles were reversed.

She would have done the right thing by telling him she wouldn't play so he could get another partner. Having agreed to play, she shouldn't have backed out when it was too late.

She hadn't know in advance she would injure her hand.

I appreciate some think she's a witch but the All Seeing Eye is not as functional as some believe.
