Dan Evans discusses private chat with Andy Murray before Paris Olympics
ATPTuesday, 30 July 2024 at 15:50
Britain’s Dan Evans has opened up about a private chat with
legendary Andy Murray before their first-round encounter at the Paris Olympics.
The 37-year-old, regarded as the best British player in the history of
men’s tennis in the Open era in the singles category, has already announced his
retirement after the ongoing mega-event.
Murray has struggled with fitness concerns throughout his career,
and it was because of this that he also missed Wimbledon’s single event this year. The former world number one made this decision after suffering
a back injury during the Queen’s ATP Championship. The same injury forced
Murray to play in just the doubles category in what is going to be his last
event in Paris with Evans.
The two managed to stay alive in the competition as they
defeated Japan’s Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel with a score of 2-6, 7-6, 11-9.
During the contest, Murray and Evans were down 4-9 in the tiebreaker in the
third set and won seven straight points to win the contest.
Evans was recently quoted in a report by Daily Express where
he revealed the private chat with Murray before the contest. “We were saying on
the buggy up, if we’d lost we’d have no chance of something special,” he said. “We’ve
still got a chance. We’ll get better from that match, we’ll learn from it and
it’s pretty cool that we’ve got another shot. I don't really think about the
medal. know, I think the medal is the right at the end of what we'd have to do,
something really good together and we've worked super hard.
“And it would just be the cherry on top to get to get
something out of playing this week and putting in the hard work last week in
doubles in [National Tennis Centre], and to do it with him, you know would be
sort of an amazing thing for how I'm sure he wants to finish his that way. And
he definitely believes we can do that.”
