Marchand Sets Record; Murray Extends Career

Andy Murray, competing in his final professional tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics, pulled off a remarkable comeback alongside Dan Evans in the men's doubles, saving five match points to defeat Japan's Taro Daniel and Kei Nishikori. Murray admitted struggling physically due to recent surgeries and lack of match practice but managed to elevate his performance during critical moments. The victory, described by Murray as one of the best recoveries of his career, keeps his tennis journey alive temporarily as he aims for further success in the tournament. Meanwhile, French swimmer Léon Marchand, coached by Bob Bowman, set an Olympic record in the 400-meter individual medley, narrowly missing his own world record. Marchand's win is significant for France, ending a 12-year gold medal drought in Olympic swimming.
