Murray and Evans started strong, putting pressure on their opponents. However, the match got intense as the Belgians saved two match points, forcing the Team GB pair to fight it out in a deciding tiebreaker. It was a tense conclusion, but they held on to their dreams of clinching a medal.
After their victory, Murray spoke to the BBC, sharing his emotions. “Tonight we deserved to win,” he said, reflecting on their performance. “We played every point and came up with some great returns when we were down in the third set.” Evans added that while they “crawled over the line at the end,” they felt more in control compared to their first match.
Continuing to build on their success, Murray noted, “If we can serve that way and combine like that we will be really tough to beat.” The pair still don’t know who they’ll face in the quarter-finals, but it could be a strong team from the USA or Netherlands.
