Murray, widely regarded as one of Britain’s all-time great sportsmen, won gold in London 2012 beating Roger Federer in the final and successfully defended his title in Rio four years later defeating Juan Martin del Potro. “Competing for Britain has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time.”
“We will of course remember his two Olympic golds; his Grand Slam wins and his never-say-die attitude on the court.
