Two-time defending champion Andy Murray has been selected for Great Britain's tennis team at the Tokyo Olympics.

Murray, 34, will play in the men's singles alongside Dan Evans and team up with Joe Salisbury in the doubles.

There is no place for doubles specialist Jamie Murray in Team GB while Heather Watson and Johanna Konta will compete in the women's singles.

The games, postponed in 2020 because of the pandemic, take place in Japan's capital from 23 July to 8 August.

Andy Murray has been finding his way at the top level after hip and groin injuries and the two-time Wimbledon champion is set to play a singles game at the All England Club next week for the first time since 2017.

The former world number one, now ranked 119, is the only tennis player to win singles gold at consecutive Olympics.

At London 2012 the Scot also won silver in the mixed doubles alongside Laura Robson.

"The Olympics mean a huge amount to me, it's a massive honour to be able to compete at a fourth games," he said.

"Leading Team GB out at the opening ceremony five years ago in Rio was one of the highlights of my career."

Evans, 31, is Britain's number one ranked men's player at 26 and achieved his highest ATP ranking to qualify for Tokyo.
