Two-time Olympic tennis champion Murray selected for Tokyo
Murray will also play in the men's doubles in Tokyo.
LONDON (AFP) - Andy Murray can dream of a third successive Olympic tennis singles title after the former world number one was selected in the British team for the Tokyo Games.
The 34-year-old Scot s career has been blighted by injury since beating Juan Martin del Potro in a memorable final in the 2016 Rio Games.
Murray will also play in the men s doubles in Tokyo, but with Joe Salisbury and not his doubles specialist brother Jamie.
The three-time Grand Slam champion made a return to singles action at key Wimbledon warm-up tournament Queen s last week after being sidelined with a groin injury.
However, he lost in straight sets to eventual champion and top seed Matteo Berrettini in the second round.
Murray has been granted a wild card for Wimbledon, where he has been crowned champion twice, which gets underway next Monday.
The Games, postponed in 2020 because of the pandemic, take place in Japan s capital from July 23 to August 8.
