The Brits are the first entirely non-French men’s doubles team to get a Roland Garros main-draw wild card in two decades.
In March, Murray told the *Times*’ Stuart Fraser that while he would “love the chance to play in another Olympics,” he would also “genuinely only if I felt like there was a chance of winning a medal.” Murray is seeking his fifth career Olympics berth for Great Britain.
After suffering an ankle injury at the Miami Open in March, the 37-year-old Murray returned to competition this week in Geneva, where he was beaten in the first round by German Yannick Hanfmann in a match that was played across two days due to inclement weather.
Murray, who reached the Roland Garros final in 2016, is contesting the clay-court major for just the second time since 2017 this year, in what might be his final appearance in Paris. Following a second-round loss at February’s Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, the former No.1 hinting at upcoming retirement, saying he he’d “likely not … play past this summer.”
