PARIS — Andy Murray's professional tennis career has ended with a Paris Olympics doubles loss in the quarterfinals. The 37-year-old Murray had said the 2024 Summer Games would be the final event of his career. He and partner Dan Evans were beaten by the American duo of Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday night. The British pair had managed to stave off a total of seven match points earlier in the tournament — five in the first round and then two more in the second round — to extend Murray's career. But Murray and Evans could not create that sort of magic again.
