Murray will compete at Olympics
Andy Murray insists he will represent Great Britain at the Olympics in Beijing this summer, despite the Games being very close to the US Open.
"I'm definitely going to play at the Olympics," said the British number one.
"It's something that not all athletes get the chance to do in their career. It's an honour to represent your country and I'm looking forward to it.
"I'm just hoping I can get a good run this year and not have any problems with injury."
The tennis competition at the Olympics is set to finish in mid-August, with the US Open scheduled to start on 27 August.
The Games have been in the news for reasons other than sport this week, with the torch relays through London and Paris targeted by protesters displaying their anger over hosts China's human rights record.
Murray's form has been mixed this season. Having come back from a longish term injury, Andy has battled his way back to the World's top twenty, but has falen to the higher ranked players in the main Tournament. There are several top quality players in the mens rankings and it is a pity, that Andy is probably just behind them in talent and he will have to play his best ever tennis to succeed here.
