Murray calls Paris his ‘last ever tennis tournament’
Andy Murray’s competition at the Paris Olympics will be his last. The three-time Grand Slam champion, beset by injuries in the latter stages of his 19-year career, made the announcement on social media on Tuesday.
“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” Murray, 37, wrote. “Competing for Team (Great Britain) have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time!”
The announcement is not unexpected. After undergoing a back procedure, Murray withdrew from the Wimbledon singles competition and played doubles with his brother, Jamie. The Murrays were eliminated in the first round.
Murray won two Wimbledon singles titles, the U.S. Open and two Olympic gold medals – 2012 and 2016 – amid tough competition from Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
He had a long run at World No. 1 from November 2016 until the following August. He retires from the ATP Tour wil 46 career wins and $64.7 million in earnings.
Murray will learn his first-round opponent on Thursday, when the Olympic draw is held. He also is scheduled to play doubles with Dan Evans.
Aguirre named Mexico head coach for a third time
Javier Aguirre was appointed head coach of Mexico’s national soccer team on Monday, replacing Jaime Lozano who was sacked this month after a disappointing Copa America groupstage exit, the country’s football federation (FMF) said.
The move comes as Mexico prepares to co-host the 2026 World Cup with Canada and the United States.
It will be the 65-year-old’s third stint in charge of the side having taken Mexico to the knockout stages of the 2002 and 2010 World Cups and winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2009.
Barcelona reserve team manager Rafael Marquez was named Aguirre’s main assistant coach.
The length of Aguirre’s contract was not specified
“Both are undisputed leaders with distinct personal styles,” said men’s national team director Duilio Davino.
Woods at junior amateur to watch son Charlie
Tiger Woods was in Bloomfield Township, Mich., on Monday searching for better vibes after missing the cut at The Open Championship in Scotland last week.
Woods was on hand at Oakland Hills Country Club to watch his 15year-old son Charlie participate in the U.S. Junior Amateur for the first time.
While the 15-time major winner has been highly supportive of his son’s budding golf career, he was not serving as caddie this week. A USGA rule prohibits parents or guardians from serving in that role during the event, including qualifying.
Playing the Oakland Hills North Course on Monday, Charlie Woods struggled to a 12-over-par 82, finishing the day tied for 242nd out of 264 golfers. He is scheduled to play the South Course on Tuesday.
Tyler Watts of Huntsville, Ala., and Mason Howell of Thomasville, Ga., shared the first-round lead at 5-under 65.
