Andy Murray, the former World No. 1, has confirmed his retirement from tennis following the Paris Olympics, where he will compete in the men's doubles with Dan Evans instead of singles due to recent surgery. Jasmine Paolini, who has had a breakout year, is a strong medal contender in both singles and doubles at the same event. Rafael Nadal's participation in the Olympics is in doubt because of a thigh injury, with his coach stating they will decide closer to the event. Concurrently, three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber has announced her retirement after the Paris Olympics, ending her career with a match against Naomi Osaka.
