Is Andy Murray playing today at Olympics? Quarter-final TV and time details plus potential Paris semi-final opponents
Murray and Evans go again in Paris after their dramatic first two rounds
Andy Murray's already dramatic Olympic Games campaign continues on Thursday when he and his partner Dan Evans play in the men's doubles quarter-finals in Paris.
Having already defeated Japanese duo Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel plus Joran Vliegen and Sander Gille of Belgium, the British pair now have American opposition in the shape of Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz for a place in the semi-finals of the 2024 competition.
The match is due to take place on Thursday afternoon in Paris and has a provisional time of 3.30pm BST. However, that is at the mercy of the matches due to take place before the doubles clash, with a host of singles ties taking place beforehand. Paul is also involved in the men's singles and is up against Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, the defending French Open champion.
The Americans are favourites to win the match, but Murray and Evans have shown tremendous resolve to win their past two clashes, saving seven match points in the process.
Should Murray and Evans prevail, then they are guaranteed a shot at a medal. The winner of this match will play Australian duo Matthew Ebden and John Peers, who already in Friday's last-four tie after defeated Germany's Dominik Koepfer and Jan-Lennard Struff on Wednesday.
Murray and Evans against Fritz and Paul will be broadcast across the BBC channels on TV and digital, as well as Eurosport and Discovery+.
The semi-finals of the men's doubles take place on Friday, with the medal ties on Saturday.
