Andy Murray has withdrawn from the tennis singles at the Paris Olympics but will still take part in the doubles, the two-time gold medallist said on Thursday.
The British former world number one, who will retire at the end of his fifth Games, has still not fully recovered from back surgery he had last month.
He believes the men’s doubles, where he is playing with Dan Evans, offers his best chance of another medal.
“I’ve taken the decision to withdraw from the singles to concentrate on the doubles with Dan,” said the 37-year-old.
