Andy Murray thanked fans for their support as he and his partner Dan Evans conjured up a dramatic win to reach the Olympic quarter-finals of the men’s doubles.
Murray and Evans were taken to a match tie-break by last year’s French Open finalists, Belgian duo Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen on Tuesday (30 July), and had to save two more match points before claiming a 6-3 6-7 (8) (11/9) victory and a place in the last eight.
The Team GB stars jumped for joy following their victory and embraced before Murray could be seen mouthing “thank you” to supporters.
