British tennis icon Andy Murray extended his retirement roadshow at Paris 2024 with another epic win alongside Dan Evans to move into the quarter-finals of the Olympic men's doubles.

Murray, 37, will call time on his illustrious career at the end of the Games - but has no desire to quit just yet.

The British pair moved into the last eight after winning 6-3 6-7 (8-10) 11-9 against Belgium's Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen in the second round.

After missing two match points in the second-set tie-break, they took their third in the first-to-10 match tie-break - but only after seeing off two match points for their Belgian opponents.

Evans stuck away a volley to leave both men jumping for joy before an elated embrace.

Murray broke down in tears on his seat as he contemplated what had just happened following the wild celebrations.

Who they will play next remains to be seen.

American third seeds Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul lurk as potential opponents, but they must come through their second-round match against Dutch pair Robin Haase and Jean-Julien Rojen on Wednesday.
