Andy Murray Jokes 'Never Even Liked Tennis Anyway' After Retirement at Paris Olympics

Andy Murray's phenomenal tennis career is complete after he and Great Britain partner Dan Evans fell to the United States' Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the Olympic doubles quarterfinals in Paris on Thursday.

Afterward, Murray provided a tongue-in-cheek remark following the conclusion of a career that includes three majors titles and two Olympic gold medals.

He also took the time to change his X bio from the present to past tense.

"I gave as much as I could to the career," Murray said following the defeat, per the ATP Tour website.

"There are obviously things that I look back on and wish that I could have done differently, but it's been a tough time to win major titles in the sport with the players that were ahead of me. I'm proud of my achievements, my efforts and I'm looking forward to prolonged rest now.

"I'm sad to be finishing but the last couple of weeks since we arrived here have been brilliant. I've had a lot of fun being around the team."

The 37-year-old Murray won the 2012 U.S. Open and the 2013 and 2016 Wimbledon titles. He became the first British winner of the Wimbledon men's singles title since 1936, when Fred Perry won it all.

Murray also won gold in the Olympic singles competitions in London in 2012 and Rio de Janeiro, becoming the first player (either male or female) to earn two straight gold medals in singles action.
