Paris 2024 day four: Andy Murray swings into quarter finals halting retirement

ITV News Correspondent Geraint Vincent reports on Murray's victory, advancing him to the men's doubles quarter-finals.

Andy Murray has put his retirement plans on hold once again by winning the second round of men's doubles with teammate Dan Evans.

Murray and Evans defeated Belgium's Joran Vliegen and Sander Gillé in a tense second-set tiebreaker, their third match point.

Murray has announced that his career will end after the tournament.

The duo also had a remarkable victory over Japanese duo Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori in their first round, saving five match points in the deciding tiebreak.

Just before Murray's win, Team GB's James Guy, Tom Dean, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott won a gold medal in the men’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay, retaining their title and bringing Britain's gold haul to four.

Team GB led by just half a second after the final exchange when Scott pulled away on the anchor leg to seal an ultimately comfortable win.

A time of six minutes and 59.43 seconds was 1.35 seconds ahead of runners-up the United States while bronze medallists Australia were a further 1.2 seconds back.

Earlier today, Nathan Hales won a gold medal in the men's Olympic trap competition.

The 28-year-old claimed a new Olympic record of 48 out of 50 to beat Chinese silver medalist Ying Qi by four shots.
