Jamie Murray retires from tennis

Jamie Murray, the elder brother of Sir Andy Murray, has officially hung up his racket, concluding a trophy-laden journey that included two Wimbledon mixed doubles titles.

Murray was the first British player in the open era to reach the world number one ranking in doubles, a milestone that helped transform the sport's profile in the UK. In an emotional statement, he thanked his family for their 'sacrifices' and expressed excitement about entering the 'real world' after decades on the tour.

Tributes have poured in from across the sporting world, recognizing his longevity, net play, and pivotal role in Britain's 2015 Davis Cup triumph.
