Andy Murray throws Olympic Games appearance into doubt despite being named in Team GB squad

Concerned Andy Murray has cast doubt over his participation in the upcoming Olympic Games, despite being named in the Team GB line-up.

The two-time Olympic champion, who has hinted at retirement at the end of this season, was confirmed as part of Great Britain's squad for Paris, which was announced on Sunday. He joins a team that includes Jack Draper, Cam Norrie, Dan Evans, and doubles experts Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski.

Murray, 37, received a wildcard for the singles event at Roland Garros, setting him up for a historic fifth Olympic appearance. However, after a challenging year and an early exit from the French Open at the hands of Stan Wawrinka, followed by his decision to skip the defence of his Surbiton title, his form has been a concern.

With Wimbledon potentially marking his swansong starting July 1, Murray is weighing up his options for the Olympics, which kick off on July 26. Speaking at Queen's Club on Sunday, he expressed uncertainty about competing in Paris, especially if he isn't playing doubles.

He said: "I'm not 100 per cent sure. It depends on how I'm doing physically and how the next few weeks go. My plan just now is to play but it's not straightforward.

"Obviously I've really enjoyed playing the Olympics over the years and the chance to play in another one, I'm excited about that. Obviously find out in the next 10 days or so on the doubles what's going to happen though but hopefully me and Evo (Dan Evans) get the chance to play."

Murray and Evans were knocked out of the French Open in the first round of the men's doubles, but will reprise the partnership for Queen's. The Scot is then planning to play alongside his brother Jamie in the doubles at Wimbledon. The three-time Grand Slam champion and two-time Olympic gold medallist has been open about his physical issues since coming back from injury. "Physically I'd been struggling," he said. "Over the clay season I was struggling a lot with my back and couldn't really serve properly and preparations were difficult.

"So I wasn't sure whether or not I was definitely going to play. I had an operation on my back in 2013. And even before then, clay was the surface that gave me the most problems for my back. Some of it comes from some of the issues I had with my right hip because I lacked movement and rotation in my right hip then my left lower back would have to makeup for that. It would take a bit of the stress and strain.

"On the clay courts, balls generally are bouncing much higher and the issue that I had with my back was extension and rotation. My back's been pretty good since moving on to the grass."
