Jamie Murray, Britain's most successful grand slam tennis player in the open era, has retired from the sport.
Over more than three decades, Murray won seven grand slam doubles titles and was part of Great Britain's first Davis Cup-winning team in 79 years.
Unlike his younger brother, three-time grand slam singles champion Andy, the older Murray specialised in doubles, winning two Wimbledon mixed doubles titles - with Jelena Jankovic in 2007 and Martina Hingis 10 years later.
He enjoyed three victories in the same tournament at the US Open and one in the men's doubles, which he also won at the Australian Open.
The 40-year-old announced on Instagram that his tennis journey "comes to an end after 36 years", saying he felt "very fortunate and privileged for all the amazing experiences this great sport has given me".
Murray, who had not played since last year's US Open, won 34 doubles titles across his career and partnered his brother to doubles victories in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final against Belgium as Great Britain won the 2015 Davis Cup, the team's first triumph since 1936.
The Scot ended his career in the international tournament with an impressive record of 14 wins from 20 doubles matches.
In a personal video message posted by the Lawn Tennis Association on X, Andy Murray said his sibling will "go down as one of the best doubles players the UK's ever had", adding that "the way we pushed each other helped us both go as far as we did".
He said that looking back "so many of the moments that mean the most to me on court, we were out there together".
He ended with the emotional tribute: "Jamie Murray: Grand Slam champion, Davis Cup winner, Olympian, world number 1, partner, brother, very average golfer. Enjoy retirement. From your number one fan, Andy."
Britain's Davis Cup captain Leon Smith said: "Jamie's been an unbelievable player representing Great Britain on the world stage over his career.
"He's positively impacted the game of doubles in this country and globally - with his achievements and commitment to the game - and it was a great privilege to be a part of his career over the years."
Murray was the first British player to climb to world number one in doubles, while he and Andy became the first brothers to simultaneously top the rankings in singles and doubles.
The siblings entered the men's doubles at Wimbledon in 2024 but lost in the first round on a packed Centre Court.
Jamie Murray played a total of 1,019 ATP Tour-level matches, winning 589.
