Paris 2024 Olympic Games: Andy Murray on latest ambitions to feature – ‘I would want to be there by right’

Andy Murray says he “would love the chance to play in another Olympics” before retiring, but only if he feels capable of medalling – and earns a Team GB spot on merit.

That end date would still leave time for the three-time major champion to compete at the French Open, Wimbledon and the Paris Games – were he to be called up for the latter.

Murray is a two-time Olympic gold medallist in the men’s singles, beating Roger Federer in the final at London 2012 before ousting Juan Martin del Potro four years later in Rio.

“I would love the chance to play in another Olympics, but also genuinely only if I felt like there was a chance of winning a medal,” Murray said.

“I’m also very conscious that because of how amazing my experiences at the Olympics have been, I would want to be there by right and not just take one of the other guys’ spots, because it is a brilliant opportunity.

“We have top doubles players and also Jack (Draper), Cam (Norrie) and Evo (Dan Evans) in singles as well.”

Murray’s rank of 62 is below Norrie (31), Draper (42) and Evans (43), while Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski are ranked 6th and 11th respectively for doubles.

The Scot played alongside Salisbury in the doubles at Tokyo 2020, reaching the quarter-finals.

But he has only played one Tour-level doubles match this season, losing in the first round of the Brisbane Open alongside Holger Rune.

“When I played with Joe, I had the conversation beforehand with him that my feeling was there was a greater chance of me winning a medal in doubles than singles,” Murray explained.

Murray has long had to field questions about when he will retire and admitted he was “bored” of the topic and remains unsure about the answer.

“It’s been happening since Wimbledon last year in most weeks. It’s something that I’ve had to talk about and entertain,” he said.

“Obviously at some stage the end will come. It’s not an easy decision to know exactly when that will be or when it should be.”

Murray was most recently in action at Indian Wells, where he defeated David Goffin in the first round before bowing out to fifth seed Andrey Rublev in straight sets.
