Murray hailed ‘greatest sportsman’ as career ends with Olympic exit

Tennis Scotland Chief Executive Blane Dodds said that Murray’s play had “inspired a generation with his excellence on court, extraordinary work ethic and resolve during difficult moments”.

He added: “His successes have motivated many people to get involved in helping to grow and develop tennis in Scotland, whether that’s within Tennis Scotland or as a coach, official, volunteer or young player.”

Sportscotland Chief Executive Forbes Dunlop said the tennis star’s impact on Scottish sport as as whole “can’t be measured”.

He stated: “His dedication, performances and achievements mean he will rightly go down in history as one of Scotland’s greatest ever athletes.”

After years of success Sir Andy’s career was feared to be over in 2019, when a metal cap was inserted into his hip.

However he resumed his career later that year, before an emotional farewell at Wimbledon in July and his Olympics bow.
