Two-time gold medallist, Andy Murray has withdrawn from singles at the Paris Olympics but still plans to compete in doubles alongside Daniel Evans in his final Olympic appearance.
Speaking at Thursday’s draw, Murray said, “I’ve taken the decision to withdraw from the singles to concentrate on the doubles with Dan. Our practice has been great and we’re playing well together. “Really looking forward to getting started and representing GB one more time.”
Murray, who will retire at the end of the Olympics, has not played singles since retiring in the second round of the cinch Championships in Queen’s. He underwent an operation on his back before Wimbledon, where he was restricted to playing doubles with his brother Jamie.
Murray will finish his career with a 739-262 record in singles. He earned 46 titles, including 2016 Rio and 2012 London Olympic gold medals.
