August 1st 2024.
In the 2024 Paris Olympics, the dynamic duo of Andy Murray and Dan Evans are set to take on Team USA's Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the men's doubles quarter-final match. These two British tennis stars have already impressed the crowds at Roland-Garros with their incredible performances, fighting their way through two intense matches against Japan and Belgium, where they saved a total of seven match points.
Their victories have temporarily delayed Murray's plan of retirement from professional tennis, as he has stated that he will hang up his racket once the tournament comes to an end. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if the pair can secure a spot in the doubles medal match with their next game.
So when exactly is Murray's next match at the Olympics? The answer is Thursday, August 1. Along with Evans, he will step onto Court Suzanne Lenglen to take on Fritz and Paul, in the fourth scheduled match of the day. The start time is estimated to be around 4:30pm BST, but it may vary depending on the duration of previous matches.
The day's play on Court Suzanne Lenglen begins at 11am UK time with the women's doubles quarter-final between MUCHOVA / NOSKOVA and HSIEH / TSAO. This will be followed by the men's singles quarter-finals between ZVEREV Alexander and MUSETTI Lorenzo, and RUUD Casper and AUGER-ALIASSIME Felix. Finally, the highly anticipated men's doubles quarter-final between FRITZ / PAUL and EVANS / MURRAY will take place.
Dan Evans couldn't help but joke about Murray's reluctance to leave the tournament, saying "I don't think he wants to go home, does he?" after their win over Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen. This was their second victory, after a thrilling match against Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel, where they saved five match points.
Evans also expressed his admiration for playing with Murray, saying "He's amazing to play with. It's an amazing atmosphere. To be a part of this is amazing, regardless of what's happening, and I'm over the moon." Murray himself was overcome with emotion after their win, saying "It's unbelievably emotional. You're obviously unbelievably happy and then for whatever reason, you've got happy tears. I don't know why that's the case."
He continued, "I was really emotional at the end of the match - extremely happy, excited that we managed to get through with another amazing finish. It takes a lot out of you, so I'm glad we get a day off tomorrow." With their fans cheering them on, Murray and Evans will give it their all in their upcoming match, hoping for another thrilling victory on the Roland-Garros clay.
