Murray provides injury update after withdrawing from Olympic Games singles: "It'll be okay for the rest of the tournament"

Andy Murray continues to manage a thigh injury after being advised by his medical team to not compete in both singles and doubles at the Olympic Games.

Murray decided to play just doubles and is into the Quarter-Finals with Joe Salisbury as he aims for yet another gold medal and he revealed that it was always the plan to prioritise doubles if he had to choose one.

‘When we spoke about playing, I told Joe that if I had any physical issues I’d prioritise doubles over singles and that’s why I made the decision,’ said Murray.

‘I’d have been annoyed with myself if I’d decided to play with the issue, made it worse, lost my singles and not been able to perform well in the doubles.

‘Physically it’ll be okay for the rest of the tournament, but I will need to take a break afterwards.’

Giving more details on it, Murray said: ‘There was just some stuff showing on the scans that made all the medical team a bit wary about it.’
