Murray selected for Team GB’s Olympic tennis squad
ANDY MURRAY has been selected to represent Team GB for a fifth Olympics after being included in next month’s squad for the Paris Games.
Murray, who back in February signalled his intention to retire later this year, 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.
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.
