OLYMPICS: Andy Murray is not “100% sure” he will play at a fifth Olympics despite his selection for the Paris Games.
Murray, who back in February signaled his intention to retire later this year, has been granted a place in singles due to being a former Grand Slam winner and the Olympic gold medalist in 2012 and 2016. He said his decision about playing will depend on his health.
Team GB announced its tennis squad for Paris at Queen’s Club on Sunday, and while Murray is currently only down to play singles, he has also been nominated for a place in doubles alongside Dan Evans.
