Andy Murray’s retirement has been one of the most discussed topics at the Olympics. This is even though Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic battled it out for the gold medal on August 4. To top it all, Rafael Nadal was knocked out early and unexpectedly, Qinwen Zheng and Donna Vekic clinched medals in the women’s singles edition.
Despite his loss alongside Dan Evans in the men’s doubles quarterfinals to Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, Murray chose to stay in Paris. He was spotted in the stands with the legendary Billie Jean King, enjoying another sport.
What stole the show, though, was Murray’s love for Great Britain and donuts. The camera caught him munching on a donut while cheering, instantly making him a fan favorite once more. He was seen watching the women’s gymnastics event, sitting next to the all time great, Billie Jean King.
