Andy Murray has announced his withdrawal from the men's singles at the Paris Olympics 2024, which marks his retirement from singles tennis all told.
In a statement, the Scotsman said he will instead focus on his men's double partnership with Dan Evans.
The 37-year-old's confirmation of withdrawal from the men's singles follows statements made on Wednesday evening.
"I need to make that decision [on being fit enough to play singles tennis] this evening but I don’t think so," said Murray.
"Obviously me and Dan [Evans] have made the commitment to each other that (doubles) was what we were going to prioritise."

Murray added: "I think Dan is still going to play singles but last week he did a lot of doubles practice, that’s what I was predominantly practising in training when I was in Greece and since we’ve been here, we’ve been practising and playing doubles sets together.
"That gives the team and us the best opportunity to get a medal, realistically.
"My back is still not perfect and the potential of playing two matches in a day is maybe not the best."
