Andy Murray expressed uncertainty about his Olympic participation following his 6-3 6-4 defeat to Marcos Giron at the Stuttgart Open on Tuesday. He stated, “I need to see what happens with the Olympics,” indicating that his decision regarding the Games hinges on various factors yet to unfold.
“I’m not 100 per cent sure what the situation is there with the doubles yet and whether or not I will play if I just get in the singles. I don’t know.
“My body didn’t feel great playing on the clay in the last month or so. I had quite a few issues with my back, so I don’t know if I would go just for singles.
“I need to wait a little bit and see on that,” added the 37-year-old, who lost in the first round of the French Open doubles alongside Daniel Evans.
