New Delhi, July 23 Former World No. 1 Andy Murray confirmed he will retire from tennis after the 2024 Paris Olympics via a social media post on Tuesday.

The 37-year-old Scot, who made his first Olympic appearance in the Beijing Games in 2008, is planning to play in the singles and doubles in Paris, which will be his fifth Games.
