Andy Murray's career goes on - for one more game at least! British star and partner Dan Evans win doubles THRILLER at Paris Olympics after saving five match points

Andy Murray remarkably extended his tennis career for at least another game after a stunning victory with partner Dan Evans at the Olympics.

The Brits looked certain to be heading out in the first round in Paris after losing the first set 6-2 to their little-known Japanese opponents Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel, before they were also 4-2 down in the second set.

But, as he has done multiple times throughout his glittering career, Murray summoned all of his heart and bravery as they fought back to win 7-6 (7-5).

This sent the match to a 10-point champions tie-break to settle the tie and the Brits found themselves 9-4 down and again staring down the barrel.

Yet, they saved five match points in a row before then winning a further two to triumph and ensure Murray would have at least one more game of tennis before retiring.
