00:07in next month's squad for the Paris Games. Murray, who back in February signalled his
00:12intention to retire later this year, has been granted an ITF place to compete at Roland-Garros,
00:18despite his lowly singles ranking of 97, due to being a former Grand Slam winner and Olympic
00:24gold medallist.
00:27With a declining Murray, a new British tennis player who could reach all-new heights has
00:31been confirmed. Jack Draper has officially taken over as British number one, but Andy
00:37Murray has tipped his compatriot for much bigger honours. Draper's run to the BOSS Open
00:43final in Stuttgart guaranteed that he would move above Cameron Norrie in the ATP rankings.
