Andy Murray's Most Memorable Wimbledon Moments Throughout His Career
As the tennis champion's Wimbledon career has come to an end, L'OFFICIEL looks back on some of his most iconic appearances on the court.
On July 5, 2024, tennis legend Andy Murray played his final match at Wimbledon, marking an end to a monumental series of performances at the tournament over the years. Throughout his career, Murray has shattered numerous world records and held an impressive stint of 41 weeks at the top of the Association of Tennis Players (ATP) world singles rankings—an achievement that earned him ATP Player of the Year in 2016.
As the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, making it to Wimbledon is a major achievement for any tennis player. Over the course of his career, Murray played in the tournament 19 times, with two wins in the singles tourney in 2013 and 2016. In 2013, Murray became the first British player to win the title in 77 years, marking a major win in the scope of his personal career, as well as Britain's national roster. Murray also famously played doubles, often with his brother Jamie Murray. In 2024, the two played their final doubles match together at Wimbledon, shortly before Murray announced his impending retirement.
"It is hard because I would love to keep playing but I can't," Murray said in an interview following the emotional match. "Physically it's just too tough now. All of the injuries have added up and like I said they haven't been insignificant."
A frequent face at Wimbledon over the years, Kate Middleton posted a supportive message on Instagram in honor of the British tennis champion's final appearance at the famed tournament. "An incredible Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andymurray. On behalf of all of us, thank you!"
While his performance on the court in London in the summer of 2024 did not mark the final match of his career—he intends to retire at the end of the 2024 season, barring any injuries—it brings a fitting end to his career at Wimbledon, although fans and new generations of tennis stars are sure to remember his legacy at the tennis tournament for decades to come. In celebration of Murray's service to the sport, his record-breaking achievements, and his memorable on-court moments, L'OFFICIEL looks back at all of his appearances at Wimbledon since his first steps onto the famed grass courts.
