Andy Murray has almost certainly played the last singles match of his career after revealing he is set to play only doubles at the Paris Olympics.

The 37-year-old confirmed on Tuesday(23 July) that his fifth Games will be his final event, but he has still not fully recovered from the surgery to remove a spinal cyst he had a week before Wimbledon.

Murray will instead focus on doubles alongside Dan Evans as he chases a fourth Olympic medal.

Asked if he was in shape to play singles, Murray said: “I need to make that decision this evening but I don’t think so.”
