Andy Murray, looking to complete a hat-trick of Olympic gold tennis titles at Tokyo2020, said it's ‘special’ to be part of an Olympic team
Murray's limited court time over the last year has seen him drop out of the top 100 and left him unseeded at his fourth Olympics. The result is a pairing with Canadian ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, the 20-year-old world number 15, who beat the Scot in straight sets at the US Open last year and reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon two weeks ago.
Still fighting back to fitness after a second hip surgery, he could certainly have done with an easier start, but he is determined to give his all for an Olympic tennis tournament that may not float every professional's boat but holds a special place in the Scot's heart. He then won a second Olympic gold when he overcame Juan Martin del Potro in a classic final in Rio, more than making up for his shock first round defeat on his Olympic debut in Beijing in 2008.Asked by reporters on Thursday where a third gold would rank in his stellar career, Murray said: "That would be my biggest win probably with everything that's gone on the last few years.
