Team Great Britain at Tennis Olympics 2024
Note: Be Gamble Aware
The love story between the tennis Olympics and team Great Britain is quite a thriving, green one as this is the only nation in history that has bagged a total of 43 medals (17 gold, 14 silver, 12 bronze) in tennis at the Olympics. They have also set some other records with the help of iconic players like Kathleen Godfree and Andy Murray.
The Paris Olympics will be an epilogue of the legendary Andy Murray’s tennis book, and he will give his best to clinch another medal for his nation during his final performance. He will be joined by Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper and Daniel Evans in the men’s singles. It will be the first time for the other three to fight for a gold medal. Andy Murray will conclude his fifth Olympic Games by pairing with Daniel Evans for the men’s doubles.
On the other hand, Katie Boulter will make her Olympic debut in the women’s singles. She will pair up with Heather Watson for the women’s doubles. In this tournament, Watson will create history by becoming the first female tennis player to participate in the Olympics four times for team Great Britain. She will pair up with former world no. 1, Joe Salisbury, for the mixed doubles. Watching the performance of this pool of talent will be sheer bliss for English fans.
But the matches will be tough as the English men will go head-to-head with global tennis champions like Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, all of whom hold numerous titles to their names. Even the women’s events will be challenging as prime performers like Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and Jasmine Paolini will give their best in the fight for gold.
