Tokyo Olympics: Andy Murray 'feels good' as he prepares for Olympic defence

Andy Murray says he "feels good" as he prepares to defend his Olympic tennis title in Tokyo, but admits there is anxiety among the team over Covid-19.

The Briton won back-to-back gold medals at London 2012 and Rio 2016 but has twice required hip surgery since and is currently ranked 104th in the world.

Murray will open against ninth-seeded Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime.

"I've prepared as best as I can. I have tough draws in singles and doubles but I think I have a chance," he said.

Speaking to BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Murray added: "If I can get through a round or two I'll start to feel more comfortable.
