LONDON (Reuters) - Reigning champion Andy Murray will spearhead Britain's challenge for tennis medals at the Rio Olympics after being named alongside his brother Jamie in a four-player squad on Friday.

Murray, who won a memorable gold at London 2012 after beating Roger Federer in the final, will play singles, doubles with Jamie and likely partner world number 18 Johanna Konta in the mixed doubles in which he was silver medallist in London.
