The Olympic tennis tournament takes place at Roland Garros from 27 July to 4 August.

Murray is a two-time singles gold medallist, triumphing in 2012 and 2016 to become the first male tennis player to win two Olympic golds.

He also won mixed doubles silver with Laura Robson in 2012.

Murray won the 2012 US Open and two memorable Wimbledon titles in 2013 and 2016.

He finishes his singles career having won 46 ATP Tour titles, including 14 Masters 1,000 events.

He told the BBC on Wednesday that Paris is the “right time” for him to retire, having struggled with injuries over the past few years.

He had back surgery on the issue he picked up at Queen’s, having previously suffered an ankle injury in March.

“Me and Dan made the commitment to each other, that is what we will prioritise,” Murray said on Wednesday.

“That gives the team and us the best opportunity to get a medal.

“My back is still not perfect. I didn’t feel great in the build-up to Wimbledon and during it. I feel better here.”
