Tennis fans explode the internet after Andy Murray’s and Dan Evan’s classic escape

After Andy Murray and Dan Evans secured yet another heroic win at the Paris Olympics, the tennis world exploded on the internet. The majority wondered who is writing these tennis scripts for the former World No.1, who is set to end his career after this tournament.

Check out some reactions here:

Evans has been given a lot of credit for today’s match, just like his effort two days ago. The 34-year-old once again elevated his game when his team was down in the match tiebreak.

On the other hand, fans are running out of superlatives for Murray. The three-time Grand Slam champion is ending his career after the Paris Olympics, but his final tournament is going down as a memorable one, regardless of whether he wins a medal or not.

It has been a remarkable turn of events for the former World No. 1, whose participation in the Paris Olympics was in jeopardy just over a month ago after the spinal injury he sustained at Queen’s Club. He also played in the men’s doubles draw at Wimbledon with his brother, Jamie Murray.
