TOKYO (Reuters) - Andy Murray sacrificed a chance to win a third successive Olympic singles title and decided to concentrate on the men's doubles competition at the Tokyo Games after scans confirmed he had "issues" with his body.
The Briton is the only player to win back-to-back Olympic singles titles but after an injury-plagued run up to Tokyo, and with his body still not at 100% following the hip-resurfacing surgery he underwent in 2019, he decided to prioritise the men's doubles competition to boost his medal chances.
