Andy Murray made his Olympic debut at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, China. He was seeded sixth in the men's singles draw and was expected to perform well, but suffered a shocking defeat against Lu Yen-Hsun of Taiwan in the first round.
Four years later, at the London Games in 2012, Murray stitched a fairytale run on the grass courts of the All England Club. Murray was seeded third in the men's singles category. He defeated Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka, Finland's Jarkko Nieminen, Cyprus' Marcos Baghdatis, Spain's Nicholas Almagro, Serbia's Novak Djokovic, and Switzerland's Roger Federer to win his maiden gold medal at the tournament.
The former World No. 1 went on to defend his gold medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. As the second seed, Murray bettered Serbia's Viktor Troicki, Argentina's Juan Monaco, Italy's Fabio Fognini, USA's Steve Johnson, Japan's Kei Nishikori, and Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro to bag his second gold medal.
Murray also played mixed doubles in London with Laura Robson. The pair won the silver medal after finishing second to Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi of Belarus. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Andy Murray did not compete in the singles format but competed in the men's doubles with Joe Salisbury. The duo defeated Frenchmen Nicholas Mahut and Pierre-Hughes Herbert and the German pair of Tim Putz and Kevin Krawietz before losing to Ivan Dodig and Marin Cilic of Croatia in the quarterfinals.
Murray will be determined to do well in Paris and end his career on a high.
