Andy Murray Unlikely to Play Beyond Summer, Aims for Paris Olympics

Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray hinted at retirement after losing in Dubai. Murray, 36, stated he is unlikely to continue playing past this summer, despite earlier achievements like his 500th hard-court win against Denis Shapovalov. While expressing boredom with retirement queries, Murray affirmed his intention to stop playing soon.

At the Dubai Championships, fifth-seeded Ugo Humbert defeated Murray, securing his first victory over the former champion. Meanwhile, top-seeded Daniil Medvedev overcame Lorenzo Sonego to reach the quarterfinals, seeking to defend his title.

Murray, in a BBC Radio 4 appearance, expressed desire to compete at the Paris Olympics, aiming for a third gold medal. However, he remains uncertain about retirement plans, acknowledging the individuality of each player's career end.
