- Double gold medallist believes podium place possible
- Injury problems and tough draw against the Briton
As Andy Murray prepares to compete in the fourth Olympic games of his life, he says that winning a medal at the Tokyo Olympics would rank as one of the best achievements of his career given his torrid struggles with injuries. He believes that he is still capable of doing so.
Although the men’s draw contains only 22 top 50 players and also 22 players outside of the top 100 after a flurry of withdrawals, luck has not been on the 2012 and 2016 champion’s side and he faces an extremely tough pair of first-round matches against top seeds.
