The end of Andy Murray’s career is still to be written. The Brit, far from having the ending he deserved, chose to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympics knowing the risk of only playing doubles. These are the limitations his body has imposed, although we must acknowledge that he has also pushed himself to the limit. Alongside Dan Evans and facing a path filled with traps, the British pair survived seven match points in the first two rounds, turning a tale of terror into pure science fiction. These were the Scottish player’s words after defying his fate once again.
“It’s unbelievable, we’ve managed to navigate a super complicated situation once again. We can only be proud of our fight. Honestly, I feel that in the first round we didn’t deserve to win, but I believe in this second one we competed much better. We worked to create many more chances to win the match from start to finish,” he assessed on Eurosport’s microphone, supported by compatriot Laura Robson, after defeating Belgians Gille and Vliegen 6-3, 6-7, 11-9.
Accustomed to always battling in impossible wars, Murray has nurtured within his mind a competitive monster that never gives up, the only way to understand why this pair isn’t already back in London for days. “At no point did we think the match was over. However, we struggled a lot with returns at times, especially towards the end of the second set. Everything happens so fast that one wrong move or a poorly chosen direction costs you the point. I don’t know how we managed the situation in the third set because things weren’t going well for us in the tiebreak either, so I can’t explain what happened in the end,” added the former world No. 1, the only player in history to win two individual Olympic golds.
FEARLESS
Now that the biggest scares have been overcome, Andy smiles when asked about the short-term future, namely the next match. This time, they face Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, two singles specialists who are not commonly seen in doubles. To put it plainly, they are beatable, but one shouldn’t speak too loudly given the suffering endured to reach this point. It’s best to start each day anew, though filled with confidence from seeing how hard they have become to defeat as a pair.
“Each match is different, every time you step onto the court it’s like a kind of reset, leaving everything behind. I maintain that in the first round, we played a rather poor level of tennis, we were very lucky in the end, and we struggled a lot with our serves. This was something we had to improve in this second match, thankfully Dan was always there to assist me. Now we can only rest to face the next match with the utmost enthusiasm,” concluded the three-time Grand Slam champion.
