The Birmingham-born star and the two-time Wimbledon champion will chase the Paris podium in men’s doubles.

The pair will start their Olympic campaign against Japanese pair Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori with Murray already having confirmed that this will be his last-ever tournament.

“There’s nothing more that I want than to get a medal for him and myself,” said Evans.

“We both agreed at the start of the week when Leon (Smith) asked us. We are going to prioritise doubles, I had to take some time out after Wimbledon with my knee.
