Jamie Murray, the inaugural British doubles player to attain the pinnacle of the world rankings, has announced his retirement, joining his brother Andy Murray.
The 40-year-old, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, had not competed since the US Open in August 2025.
He secured two of his 34 doubles titles in partnership with his younger brother Andy. Together, they contributed to Britain’s victory in the Davis Cup in 2015, marking the nation’s first triumph in 79 years.
Jamie Murray also claimed five mixed doubles titles, including two at Wimbledonβfirst with Jelena Jankovic in 2007 and later with Martina Hingis in 2017.
“My tennis journey comes to an end after 36 years,” he stated in an Instagram post.
“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!”
