Andy Murray's retirement remains on hold after an escape act saw the British icon and Dan Evans fight off five match points to win their Olympics men's doubles match.
Andy Murray delayed his retirement as a scarcely believable escape act saw the British tennis great and Dan Evans save five match points to win their Olympics men's doubles opener.
His storied career looked to be heading to an end before a remarkable recovery saw the British pair win 2-6 7-6 11-9 against Japan's Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori. They had trailed 9-4 in the deciding tie-break, at which point defeat seemed inevitable, with the subsequent turnaround leaving Murray and Evans almost as gobsmacked as anyone.
