Two-time Olympic gold medallist Andy Murray said he is unlikely to compete in the singles competition at the Paris Games due to fitness issues and will prioritize the doubles in what will be the final tournament of his career.Murray skipped the singles in his final appearance at Wimbledon this month after having surgery to remove a spinal cyst in late June, but is entered in singles and doubles, alongside Dan Evans, in Paris.
That gives the team and us the best opportunity to win a medal realistically."My back is still not perfect and the potential of playing two matches in the day is maybe not the best."Murray won singles gold at London 2012, beating Roger Federer in the final, and successfully defended his title in Rio four years later by defeating Juan Martin del Potro.He also has a mixed doubles silver from London partnering Laura Robson.
