Andy Murray and Dan Evans’ relationship appears to have taken a turn for the worse.
Andy Murray and Olympic doubles partner Dan Evans have gone from friends to foes after their heartbreak in the French capital.
Murray’s career came to a close at Roland-Garros last week when he and Evans were knocked out of the doubles competition by American pair Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.
The duo had enjoyed two sensational victories prior to their quarter-final exit, with Murray and Evans fending off seven match points across their first two rounds.
However, on the back of their emotional exit from the Games, Murray and Evans have since become enemies… on the golf course.
Murray shared a snap to his 2.1million followers on Instagram of him and Evans enjoying a round of golf.
The pair appeared to be in good spirits though, with Murray having taken to retirement well since hanging up his racket.
The three-time Grand Slam winner has been spotted at several Olympic events, while also being snapped with fellow athletes, including women’s tennis star, Coco Gauff.
Speaking to Puntodebreak.com about her meeting with Murray, the Team USA ace said: “I could sit here for hours talking about all the cool people I met [at the Olympics].

“I finally took a photo with Rafa Nadal, I didn’t post the photo, but I probably should have… I also finally took a photo with Andy Murray, which I had always wanted to ask him for.”
Gauff, who crashed out in the third round of the women’s singles event, pointed towards the friendly atmosphere within the Olympic village as a reason for her finally asking Murray for a picture.
She continued: “So I managed to accomplish my two goals, getting a photo with the two of them. Ironically they are tennis players, so I could have gotten them in any tournament, but I don’t know, I just felt like I didn’t have the confidence.
“But at the Olympics other athletes asked for it, so I didn’t feel out of the ordinary, whereas here, they probably don’t ask for it as much in these tennis tournaments.”
Murray’s Olympic legacy is like no other, with the Scot the only tennis player – male or female – to have won more than one gold medal in the singles events.
Topping the podium at consecutive Games in 2012 and 2016, Murray calls time on his career having featured at a remarkable five different Olympics.
