It’s time to turn the last page of the final chapter of a beautiful English ‘fable‘! With just three days left before the start of the Paris Olympics, everyone around the sports world is excited to welcome the mega event. However, this tournament will also mark the end of a remarkable journey that started almost 34 years ago! We have already witnessed Andy Murray‘s emotional farewell at Wimbledon earlier this month. His mother Judy, his wife Kim, and several other family members were present at the iconic venue to witness the end of a legacy he built one step at a time. How nice was it for the G.O.A.T. to see his pillars of support in his last appearance at his home slam?

Recalling some of his fewest fond memories from this year’s Wimbledon, the two-time Wimbledon Champion said, “I think my mum actually finds it quite stressful! And Kim. I don’t think I’m that easy to watch all the time.“ Murray further went on to add, “No, really it’s great having them supporting and I’m so grateful that they’ve spent so much time watching me over the years. Just knowing they are in the crowd gives me a huge boost.” He became a bit emotional by recalling the moments of them clapping for him from the stands at Wimbledon.
Andy Murray truly deserves a grand farewell for all his contributions to the world of sports. He has won three Grand Slam titles in his career and he’s also one of the few athletes to grab two consecutive gold medals in the Olympics. Murray is the exact reason why the ‘Big Three‘ in the tennis world turned into the ‘Big Four‘ later on. That’s called creating a legacy!
