Andy Murray is one of Team GB’s most famous stars and he will aim to become a three-time Olympic gold medalist in Paris this summer.

The British tennis star is coming towards the end of his career after many injury-hit years, but before he bows out, he’s taking part in one last edition of the Games.

The 2012 Olympics was one of the biggest moments in Murray’s career as he beat Roger Federer to claim gold in the Men’s Singles – sparking a run that saw him win his first Grand Slam later that year before finally becoming Wimbledon champion in 2013.

At Rio 2016, the Scot became the first tennis player in Olympic history with two singles gold medals having beat Juan Martin del Potro.

Now with the 37-year-old heading into his final Olympics, talkSPORT.com takes a look at when you can see him in action…

When is Andy Murray in action?
The Paris Olympics are scheduled to start on Friday, July 26.
The draw for tennis at this year’s games is set for Thursday, July 25.

But the Men’s Singles first round takes place over two days: Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28, with the whole tournament being held at Roland-Garros.

This means Murray could be playing on either day at any time.

First-round games on July 27 will get going at 11am UK time, with the next batch starting at 6pm UK time.

Should he get through that, the second round also takes place over two days: Monday, July 29 and Tuesday, July 30.

They have the same scheduled start times as the first-round matches.
The third round is on Wednesday, July 31, with matches once again taking place in two blocks, starting at 11am and 6pm.

Quarter-final games are on Thursday, August 1, with times remaining the same.

One semi-final will be held at 11am on Friday, August 2, and the other will be at 6pm on the same day.

Should Murray make it to the final, he will be playing on Sunday, August 4, with a start time yet to be confirmed, while the bronze medal match is on Saturday, August 3, also with an unspecified time.
