'Right time' for me to retire - Murray

Murray's final match at Wimbledon was expected to be in the mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu but his fellow Briton pulled out to protect a wrist issue which threatened her campaign in the singles.

Speaking for the first time on the incident, Murray said he and Raducanu have not spoken since her withdrawal, but he respected her decision.

"Getting to finish playing at Wimbledon on Centre Court with my brother was unbelievably special," he added.

"It is something we never experienced. That wasn't how I planned it, but that is how it ended up and I am really happy about that. I am not frustrated or bitter about it."

Asked about his plans following retirement, Murray said he wanted to spend more time with his family, "become a scratch golfer" but would "love" to be involved in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics "in some capacity".

"I don't know what the rest of my life will look like," he added. "I will still stay in touch with the sport."

Murray famously won Olympic singles gold at London 2012, beating Swiss great Roger Federer on Wimbledon's Centre Court, and then defended his title in Rio de Janeiro four years later.

"Every time I have come to the Olympics it feels totally different [to other tennis events] and I personally love it. For me it has been an amazing experience," he said.

"I love being around athletes, being part of the team, representing my country. For me it has been right up there."
