Andy Murray targets Paris Olympics after Tokyo disappointment due to injury.

The Hindu  

The 36-year-old Scot claimed his first gold at the London Games in 2012 and backed it up with another at Rio 2016, but he pulled out of the singles competition in Tokyo two years ago with a thigh strain. I’ve loved every single one I’ve been involved in,” Murray said at the Zhuhai Championships. “We were up a set and 4-3, serving with game points in the quarter-finals and we had a really good chance and didn’t quite do it. It would be my fifth Olympics and most likely the last one.” Three-time Grand Slam champion and former world number one, Murray, has fought his way up the world rankings since having hip resurfacing surgery in 2019 and is currently 41st.
