was announced as part of the Great Britain Olympic team for the fifth time in his career. The Olympics have become, in a way, Murray’s one stronghold at the top of professional tennis. He remains the only player in the Open era to win two singles gold medals, which is more than Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer combined.

Along with singles, Murray has also entered the doubles draw with Jamie Murray, which would be his first time competing with his brother at Wimbledon. After spending their formative years battling each other on the courts of Dunblane and dreaming of SW19, Andy and Jamie converted their dreams to incredible success, reaching No 1 in singles and doubles respectively.
