Andy Murray and Joe Salisbury progress in men’s doubles at Tokyo 2020 Olympics

Andy Murray and Joe Salisbury are through to the second round of the men’s doubles after an impressive display against second seeds Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

The British duo took just one hour and 15 minutes to eliminate their French counterparts at the Ariake Tennis Park.

"I think we have the potential to be a really good team.

“We were well-deserved winners today – we created lots of chances – but not every doubles match is like that.

"If we keep the same sort of attitude and prepare diligently, I think we've got a chance of doing well," Murray said after the match.

Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski are also in action on Sunday when they take Argentina’s Andres Molteni and Horacio Zeballos in the men’s doubles.

Andy Murray and Joe Salisbury next opponents will be Germany’s Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in the next round.

Murray begins his Tokyo 2020 Olympics tennis singles campaign on Sunday against Canadian ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime.
