Overview
- Jamie Murray, who had not played since last August’s US Open, announced his retirement on Wednesday in an Instagram post at age 40 after 36 years in the sport.
- He departs with seven Grand Slam titles and 34 tour-level doubles trophies, including the 2016 Australian Open and US Open with partner Bruno Soares.
- Murray became Britain’s first doubles world No. 1 in 2016, and that season he and brother Andy were the first siblings to hold the top singles and doubles rankings at the same time.
- A cornerstone of Great Britain’s 2015 Davis Cup win, he partnered Andy in key doubles rubbers during the nation’s first title in 79 years.
- Tributes followed, including an emotional video message from Andy via the LTA, and Murray is expected to stay in the game through Sky Sports commentary and his tournament‑director role at Queen’s Club this season.
