Highlights

Day six: Murray & Evans defeated in quarter-finals; Boulter & Watson exit against impressive Italian duo

Team GB won’t be amongst the tennis medals at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games after both it's remaining doubles pairs – Andy Murray and Dan Evans, as well as Katie Boulter and Heather Watson – bowed out in the quarter-finals.

In what would be his last professional match, Murray and partner Evans lost to third seeded American duo Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul 6-2, 6-4.

Meanwhile, Boulter and Watson were defeated 6-3, 6-1 by Italian’s Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani.

Murray and Evans had won both their previous rounds having faced match points in championship tie-breaks – however, the top 20 singles stars from the USA

The Americans pulled out the highlight shots in the opening few games – breaking Evans at the first chance with a beautiful angled pass from Fritz, before Paul picked off a couple of return winners against Murray’s second serve to race out to a 4-0 lead.

The Brits got themselves on the board with two holds on their next service games, but Fritz and Paul were able to see out the set comfortably after 30 minutes.

Sensing the opportunity again on Murray’s serve early in the second, the Americans struck again – setting up three break points before Fritz ripped a forehand winner through the middle of the court.

Murray had been bidding to win a fourth Olympic medal, but unfortunately the fairytale ending wasn’t to be.

Despite glimmers of another unthinkable comeback – saving match point before breaking Paul at 5-2 down – Fritz managed to get the job done on the second time of asking, punching their ticket into the semi-finals.

Boulter and Watson put in a spirited performance against the two-time Grand Slam singles runner-up and the former doubles world No.1, but the Italian’s were clinical, winning six of seven break points.

It was clear from the start that the Brits were going to be in for a tough afternoon. Having gone a break down on their first service game, Boulter and Watson fired back with an impressive game of their own against the Errani serve to stay within touching distance.

However, the Brits struggled to hold throughout the match. Paolini’s return off kept the British team under a lot of pressure, while Errani’s court coverage and hands at the net caused all sorts of issues from start to finish.

They broke Watson’s serve to restore their two game lead before holding out to win the set.

The Italian’s energy only picked up in the second set with Paolini and Errani breaking the Brits on all four of their service games to wrap up a solid win in an hour and three minutes to guarantee them a medal match this weekend.
