Andy Murray Reveals He Is Still Not 100% Fit, Will Solely Focus in Doubles Action in His Swansong at Paris Olympics

Two-time Olympic gold medalist, Andy Murray, revealed that he may not compete in any singles action at the Paris Games as he is still dealing with fitness issues. He is now engrossed in practising for doubles action with Dan Evans.

“I don’t think so. I need to make that decision this evening, but yeah, I don’t think so. Me and Dan have made the commitment to each other. That was what we were going to prioritise. I think Dan is still going to play singles, but obviously last week he did a lot of doubles practice.

“That’s what I was predominantly practicing and training when I was in Greece and since we’d been here, we’ve been practicing and playing double sets together that gives the team I know the best opportunity to get a medal. My back is still not perfect and the potential of playing too much in a day is maybe not the best,” Andy Murray exclaimed to the reporters.
