Tennis' "Murray era" ends as Jamie follows brother Andy into retirement
The former doubles world No. 1 made the announcement on social media on Wednesday.
After more than two decades, the book is closing on the "Murray era" in professional tennis.
Jamie Murray, the former doubles world No. 1 and older brother to Andy, announced his retirement Wednesday on social media, writing that "[his] tennis journey [is coming] to an end after 36 years."
In his post showing photos of him through the years, Murray, a seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion, thanked his family, including mother Judy and brother Andy, for their support so he could "achieve everything I could in the game.”
"I feel very fortunate and privileged for all the amazing experiences this great sport has given me," the 40-year-old wrote in the Instagram post.
Murray won 34 tour-level titles during his career, two of them with his younger brother. The Murray brothers were integral in Great Britain's 2015 Davis Cup win, the first triumph for the country in the event in 79 years, by winning doubles matches in the quarterfinal, semifinal and final rounds.
In 2016, he became the first British man to rise to world No. 1 in doubles and held the spot for nine weeks.
Murray last competed at the US Open in 2025 alongside Ivan Dodig. Off the court, he starred in the Tennis Channel series "My Tennis Life" in 2020, and has been the tournament director at the ATP tournament at the Queen's Club since 2023.
