When is Andy Murray playing at the Olympic Games in Paris today?

Posted on by Vaseline

Andy Murray will play the opening match of his last tennis tournament today in Paris alongside Dan Evans in the men’s doubles at the Olympic Games.

The two-time singles gold medallist had hoped to make his final appearance in this format at Roland Garros but has yet to fully recover from surgery to remove a cyst in his spine, which he sustained a week before Wimbledon.

He has therefore decided to focus on doubles with Evans in his quest for a fourth Olympic medal.

Murray and Evans are both experienced doubles players, although they do not play together. However, they seem to have a reasonable chance of reaching the first round, having met the Japanese pairing of Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori.

The 37-year-old will take part in the Olympic Games in Paris for the fifth time.

Mark England, Team Britain’s Chef de Mission, said: “The calibre of the team is getting stronger with each Games and it’s great to see a mix of returning and debuting Olympians.

“Two-time Olympic champion Andy Murray was our flag bearer in Rio (in 2016) and he continues to lead by example through his dedication to the Olympic Games and Team GB.”
