FILE - Andy Murray, of England, smiles as he holds up his gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in this Sunday, Aug. 14, 2016, file photo. Murray's been through two hip operations and assorted other injuries since he became the first tennis player with multiple Olympic singles golds by winning in 2012 and 2016. His ranking outside the Top 100, but past success — including three Grand Slam trophies — earned him a special spot in the Tokyo field for Britain. “I just hope,” he said, “the body holds up.”(AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File)
