Andy Murray has been selected to play in his fifth Olympic Games next month, it has been confirmed.
The Team GB tennis line-up for Paris 2024 has been announced today.
The Scots, 37, has been named to play singles at the competition in July.
He has twice won a gold medal at the Olympics in London, 2012 and Rio 2016.
Murray has been named alongside Olympic debutants Jack Draper, Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans in the team. Katie Boulter is the sole female participant for Britain.
Murray, who back in February signalled his intention to retire later this year post-Wimbledon and the Olympics, has been granted an ITF place to compete at Roland Garros despite his lowly singles ranking of 97 due to being a former grand-slam winner and Olympic gold-medallist.
Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski will represent Team GB in the men’s doubles and the pairing of Murray and Evans have been nominated for an additional space in that competition, which will be determined by the ITF – the governing body of world tennis who run the tournament – on June 25.
Team GB were also notified on Thursday that 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu would be in the mix for an ITF place, but she turned down the chance due to the multiple changes in surface over the coming weeks and after only recently returning from a lengthy injury lay-off.
