00:00Andy Murray's career has been defined by resilience, and his performance at the Paris

00:05Olympics is no exception.

00:08In what he confirmed as his final tournament before retiring, Murray provided fans with

00:13a vintage display alongside his compatriot Dan Evans in the men's doubles.

00:19The match, played against Japan's Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel, saw the Scots save five match

00:25points in an astonishing comeback.

00:29Murray and Evans lost the first set 2-6 but clawed their way back by winning the second

00:34set in a T-break, 7-6 7-5, and clinched the deciding tiebreaker 11-9.

00:42At 37 years old, Murray has opted out of the singles events, focusing all his energy on

00:48the doubles format.

00:51His career-long battle with injuries hasn't dampened his competitive spirit, as he declared

00:56this victory one of his most memorable.

00:59''I don't think I've ever saved five match points in a row,'' Murray said.

01:04''In singles, it's almost impossible to do that, so I don't think I've ever done that

01:10before.''

01:11His perseverance on the court is nothing short of inspirational.

01:16Next up, Murray and Evans face the unseeded Belgian duo of Sander Guyle and Geron Vliegen.

01:24They are to play on court Cézanne Lengelin on Tuesday 30 July.

01:29Scheduled as the fourth match of the day, they anticipate starting around p.m. BST,

01:34though the timing is subject to the progress of earlier matches.

01:39The day begins with Jack Draper GBR taking on the seventh seed Taylor Fritz USA in the

01:45men's singles at 11 o'clock a.m. BST.

01:49This is followed by Anna Carolina Schmidlovis Vjek against Jasmine Paolini ITA in the women's

01:55singles.

01:57The third match sees the Spanish pair Alcaraz and Nadal playing against the Dutch team of

02:02Griekspoor and Koolhof in the men's doubles, before the court Cézanne Lengelin hosts what

02:08could be Murray's final Olympic match.

02:12As Murray prepares to give his all in what could be his farewell performance, the fans

02:16can only hope for another magical moment from the Scott.
