Former Doubles World Number One Jamie Murray Retires
The former world No. 1 in doubles won 34 ATP Tour titles and seven Grand Slam crowns before ending his career.
British doubles legend Jamie Murray has retired from tennis at age 40, becoming the first British doubles player to reach world No 1 during his lengthy career.
Murray won 34 doubles titles across his career, including the 2015 Davis Cup alongside brother Andy, marking Britain's first tournament victory in 79 years.
He reached 13 major men's doubles finals and won mixed doubles grand slam titles at Wimbledon and the Open alongside partners including Bruno Soares and Martina Hingis.
After 36 years in tennis, Murray said he is "Excited to enter the real world." He previously became tournament director of the Queen Club Championships in late 2023.
Retiring with the most grand slam and ATP Tour doubles titles of any British player in the Open Era, he represented Britain in 20 Davis Cup ties and four Olympic Games.
