Retiring Andy Murray gets a standing ovation and a tearful farewell
British tennis icon Andy Murray has bid a tearful farewell to Wimbledon for the final time.
Murray, along with his brother Jamie Murray, lost 0-2 (6-7<6-8> 4-6) to Australia's John Pierce and Rinki Hijikata in their first round men's doubles match at the All England Club in London, England, on Friday (June 5).
Murray, who underwent back surgery last month and was expected to miss this year's Wimbledon, was eager to compete after announcing his retirement this year.
He had planned to compete in the men's singles match on the third day of the tournament, but withdrew after realizing that he was not in a position to play a five-set match.
After losing the match, Murray said he was leaving Wimbledon in tears to a standing ovation from the entire crowd.
A video of Murray's career played on a large screen inside the stadium, and the thousands of people in attendance honored him with a standing ovation.
In addition to his family - parents, wife and children - Murray was joined by fellow tennis greats Novak Djokovic (Serbia), Martina Navratilova (Czech Republic), John McEnroe (Germany) and Iga Swartek (Poland).
"I don't know if I deserve this applause, but I think (today) is a good ending for me," Murray said as he took the microphone.
"I love tennis, I want to play on the court forever, but I feel it's too hard for me physically now," he said, thanking his family, teammates, and fans.
"This tournament was a battle against the years, it was a physically demanding match," he said, adding that he was happy to be with his brother Jamie once again.
Murray is a two-time Wimbledon champion and has long been considered a tennis legend alongside Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal (Spain), and Roger Federer (Switzerland).
In 2013, he became the first British player to win the men's singles title at Wimbledon in 77 years, 고스톱사이트 and he repeated the feat in 2016.
He won back-to-back men's singles gold medals at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and was knighted by the British royal family.
More than 10,000 fans lined up at the stadium to watch the Murray brothers play. Many people stayed up all night in front of the stadium to get tickets.
Murray will also compete in the mixed doubles event alongside US Open champion Emma Raducanu (Great Britain) on July 7. Following Wimbledon, Murray plans to retire after the Paris 2024 Olympics, which begin this month.
Paris Yi... Yang Hee-young and Kim Joo-hyung aim for the 'golden putt'
Yang Hee-young (34), who dramatically qualified for the Olympics by climbing the world rankings before the start of the Games, will be looking to repeat the feat in Paris.
Yang will be joined by Ko Jin-young (29) and Kim Hyo-joo (29) at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which kick off on Aug. 26 (KST), as they attempt to defend their women's golf gold medal.
South Korea's Park In-bee became the first gold medalist at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, the first time golf was included in the Olympic program in 116 years. At the last Olympics, in Tokyo in 2021, she settled for a bronze medal. This year, eight years later, South Korean women's golf is back in the medal hunt.
Once the world's strongest women's golf program, South Korea's women's golf has struggled this season.
They have not won a single tournament since the start of the season until the LPGA Tour's Meyer Classic, which ended last month.
In particular, the LPGA Tour's U.S. Open, held last month, shocked the world by not having a single Korean player finish in the top 10 in 27 years.
It was Yang Hee-young who broke this frustrating trend at once.
Yang won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, one of the LPGA Tour's majors, on March 24.
After winning her first major championship since her debut in 2008, Yang was ranked No. 5 in the Women's Golf World Ranking, which was released on March 25th. She jumped 20 spots from her previous ranking of 25th. 에볼루션 바카라사이트 She also dramatically qualified for the Olympics.
"Qualifying for the Olympics was one of my big goals this year, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to qualify because I missed back-to-back cuts in recent tournaments," Yang said after her victory, adding, "I'm really happy to have achieved my goal with this victory, and I will prepare well for the Olympics."
It will be interesting to see if Yang, who competed at the Rio 2016 Olympics eight years ago alongside Park In-bee, Jeon In-ji and Kim Se-young, can follow up her first major victory with her first Olympic medal.
Men's golf also has a player who has been performing well in the lead-up to the Olympics. That would be Kim Joo-hyung (22).
Kim finished runner-up in a playoff at the Travelers Championship, a special event on the PGA Tour, last month.
He led the field for three days from rounds one through three, but lost to world No. 1 Scotty Schauffler (USA) after a fourth-round playoff.
After struggling throughout the season, with no top-10 finishes until May, Kim rebounded with his first top-10 finish of the season at the Canadian Open on May 3, where he tied for fourth, his best result of the season, although he missed out on the title.
His world ranking also jumped from 26th to 16th (he is currently ranked 17th).
The two rebounded well ahead of the Games, and it will be interesting to see how they fare in Paris, along with women's golf's leading player, Ko Jin-young (World No. 3), national ace Kim Hyo-joo (World No. 13), and Ahn Byung-hoon (32-World No. 30), who is competing in his second Olympics.
The Olympic golf competition will be held at the Olympic Course (formerly known as the Albatros Course) at Le Golf National in Paris, France. The men's competition will take place from August 1-4, while the women's competition will take place from August 7-10.

"Kai Havertz has scored the most Premier League goals by a German player in the history of the league," the statistical publication Opta reported on Tuesday.
Arsenal defeated Everton 2-1 on Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, in the 38th and final round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season.
The three points gave the Gunners 89 points (28 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses), but at the same time, 안전놀이터 추천 Manchester City beat West Ham United 3-1 at home to move to 91 points and finish as league runners-up for the second consecutive season.
In that match, Arsenal went down 0-1 to Idrissa Gueye in the 40th minute, but Takehiro Tomiyasu equalized before halftime. Kai Havertz added a late goal in the second half to give Arsenal a 2-1 victory.
After losing the title to City by five points last season, the Gunners won the title again this season by two points. It's a big disappointment for Arsenal, who spent most of the season competing with Liverpool and City for the top spot.
Despite the disappointing runner-up finish, Haberz did achieve something of a milestone. He set the record for the most Premier League goals in a single season by a German player.
The 6-foot-4, quick-footed striker joined Chelsea from Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2020 to join the Premier League. The £80 million ($137.7 million) transfer fee was a record, and expectations were high.
He needed a period of adjustment. 토토사이트 순위 In his first season at Chelsea, he played 27 league games, but only scored four goals. In 2021-2022, he increased his tally slightly to eight goals in 29 games, but it wasn't enough.
After scoring seven goals in 35 league appearances in 2022-2023, he left Chelsea at the end of the season to join Arsenal.
His start at Arsenal was not easy. He failed to record an offensive point in his first six league games. His debut goal for Arsenal came in the seventh round against AFC Bournemouth, which the Gunners won 4-0.
After that, he fell silent again. He missed five league games in a row before scoring his second league goal against Brentford in November last year.
His goalscoring form really picked up towards the end of the season, as he found the back of the net against Burnley in February and went on to score in four consecutive games. He followed that up with a multi-goal game against Chelsea in April and goals against Tottenham Hotspur and Everton to finish the season with a total of 13 goals in the league.
"His 13 goals equaled the record of Ilkay Gundogan," said Opta. It is the highest total by a German player in the Premier League since its inception."
Of course, there are other German players who have scored more goals in England. Jürgen Klinsmann, who played for Tottenham Hotspur in the 1994-1995 season, scored 20 goals. However, there were 22 teams competing that season, not 20 as there are today.
"Sometimes soccer is unfair," said Haberz, who was in tears after finishing second. We have to accept that. Football is really hard. I think we deserved more," he said.
He added: "I'm sorry for all Arsenal fans. We did our best, but it wasn't enough. In two or three months we'll look back and say, 'That was a good fight,' but right now I think we deserve more. 카지노사이트 We'll try again next season," he said, adding that they will be back in contention for the title.
"It's hard to think about next season right now. It's just too frustrating and hard," he said, adding, "We can only say that next year we will be a better team and we will give it our all next season."
Guardiola has done it all at Man City... will he leave or stay?
After guiding Manchester City to a first-ever four consecutive league titles in the English Premier League (EPL), Pep Guardiola has left the door open for a fresh start.
Guardiola, who joined City in 2016, has a contract that expires in 2025 and has been cautious about extending his time with the club, saying he has accomplished all he can at the club.
City defeated West Ham United 3-1 at home in the final 38 rounds of the 2023-2024 EPL season at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on Tuesday (Jan. 20).
With the win, City finished the season with 28 wins, seven draws, and three losses (91 points), leapfrogging Arsenal atop the league.
Guardiola, who led City to the league title, hinted at a possible parting of ways after the game, telling British outlet Sky Sports, 스포츠토토 "It's more realistic for me to leave than to stay."
"I want to stay with the team next season and we will probably talk about it during the (next) season," he said, but he was cautious: "But we have to wait and see if we can stay together for eight or nine years (through a contract extension)."
Guardiola added: "After winning three titles last season, I thought, 'It's over. What am I going to do here? "But I had a contract and I thought, 'No one has ever won four league titles in a row,' so I went for it," he said.
True to his word, the potential parting of ways seems to have come about because there is nothing more to accomplish at City.
After winning the league title for four consecutive seasons starting in 2020-2021, City became the first team in the league to lose four consecutive titles.
Manchester United, under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, only won three in a row twice before, from 1999 to 2001 and 2007 to 2009.
After winning the league, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League (UCL) last season, Guardiola's City won the league title once again this season, and won virtually everything else.
Guardiola's future is unclear for next season, but he's refocused for the remainder of the schedule.
City will go for another trophy in the 2023-2024 FA Cup final on May 25 at 11pm in the Manchester derby.
"I have a feeling that it's over," Guardiola said. I don't know what's next, but for now the FA Cup will be next," said Guardiola. 온라인 슬롯 "From what I've heard, no team has ever won the EPL and FA Cup in two consecutive seasons. It's a rivalry, so hopefully the players will enjoy (the league title) for two or three days and then prepare for the final for another two or three days."
City also met their 'rivals' in last season's FA Cup final, winning the trophy.
