 "Andy Murray named in Great Britain's singles squad for fifth Olympics")
Andy Murray has been named as one of the four British singles tennis players for the Paris Olympics, which will be his fifth Summer Games.
Murray, who has said he plans on retiring later this year, was granted an ITF place to compete at the Olympics despite his lowly singles ranking of 97 due to being a former Grand Slam winner and an Olympic gold medallist.
On Thursday, Team GB were also notified that 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu would be in consideration for an ITF place, but she turned down that opportunity due to the multiple changes needed to prepare for the event on clay. The tennis calendar has moved on to grass ahead of Wimbledon but the Olympics will be held on clay at Roland Garros.
Murray, who won gold at the 2012 London Olympics and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, is one of four male singles players selected alongside Jack Draper, Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans, with Katie Boulter the sole female participant for Britain.
Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski will represent the country in the men’s doubles and the pairing of Murray and Evans have been nominated for an additional space, which will be determined by the ITF - the governing body of world tennis who run the tournament - on 25 June.
