Contesto

Jamie Murray, the celebrated doubles specialist and seven-time Grand Slam champion, has announced his retirement from professional tennis. The 37-year-old Briton, who had not competed on tour since last August's US Open, confirmed the decision, stating he was "excited to enter the real world." The announcement marks the end of a nearly two-decade career defined by tactical brilliance and a relentless pursuit of success at the net.
