PARIS—Andy Murray’s tennis career was extended for at least one more match in dramatic style when he and British partner Dan Evans saved five match points during a first-round doubles win at the Paris Olympics.
Murray and Evans rallied past the Japanese pair of Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori 2–6, 7–6 (5), 11–9 on Sunday. The Brits trailed 9–4 in the decisive tiebreaker, which is held in place of a third set in doubles.
