Can Andy Murray Add One More Gold Medal To His Astonishing Olympics Career?

The three-time Grand Slam winner is one of the most hilarious and adored tennis players around the world, and has been pivotal in Great Britain's progress in the sport from past two decades. Andy Murray has recorded consecutive gold medals in the Men's Singles event at the Games, with the first one coming in front of the home fans, as he defeated one of the greatest tennis players in the history - Switzerland's Roger Federer in the final of London Olympics 2012.

His second gold came at the Rio Olympics 2016 against Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro and with him now withdrawing from the Singles' event, the 'unsaid' message now seems to be pretty clear, as the British legend wants to win a gold medal in the Doubles' event, and with the age factor and injury issues looming over his head, reducing thr workload seems to be a smart call and this can result in better efficiency for him in the Doubles' event.
