Andy Murray has confirmed that he will retire from tennis after competing for Team GB at the Olympics in Paris.

The tennis star has posted on X to confirm the games will be his "last ever tennis tournament".

He posted on social media to say he'd arrived in Paris adding competing for Team GB has been "by far the most memorable weeks of my career".
