Two-time gold medallist Andy Murray has withdrawn from singles at the Paris Olympics, but still intends to compete in doubles alongside Daniel Evans in his final Olympic appearance.
Speaking at Thursday’s draw, Murray said, "The Olympics has been incredibly special for me and there have been some amazing memories on the court, particularly in London.
[ATP APP]"I'm happy I get to do this one more time. It's unfortunate. I trained to get ready to play both, but I'm getting a bit older now so it gets harder to recover from injuries. I ran out of time."
Murray, who has announced that he 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 a small 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.
