Seven-time Grand Slam champion Jamie Murray retires from tennis

Seven-time doubles Grand Slam champion Jamie Murray announces retirement from tennis.

The Scottish sporting legend has hung up his racket after more than two decades competing at the pinnacle of sport.

The 40-year-old won two men’s doubles titles at the Australian Open and US Open, as well as five mixed doubles titles at Wimbledon and the US Open.

He also played a pivotal part alongside his brother Andy in Great Britain’s Davis Cup triumph in 2015.

The former doubles number one has gone on to play in more than 1000 matches, with his last coming at the 2025 US Open.

Murray announced he has called time on his career in a statement.

He said: “My tennis journey comes to an end after 36 years.

“I feel very fortunate and privileged for all the amazing experiences this great sport has given me.

“Thanks Mum, Dad, Andy, Ale, Alan, Louis and Thomas for all your incredible support, efforts and sacrifices throughout my career that allowed me to achieve everything I could in the game.

“For everybody else that’s helped/supported me – I appreciate all of you!

“Excited to enter the real world!”

Tennis Scotland chief executive Blane Dodds described the Dunblane-born star as one of the “greatest sportspeople to ever come out of Scotland”.

He added: “We are very proud of Jamie and everything he has achieved in professional tennis.

“His performances have helped to inspire so many, and his success has played a crucial role in the growth of our sport in Scotland, where more people than ever before are picking up a racket and competing, club membership is at an all-time high, and record numbers of courts are being built.

“We are sure everyone involved with tennis in Scotland wishes him all the very best for the next chapter of his life.”
