Dan Evans & Andy Murray v Sander Gille & Joran Vliegen: How to watch, TV channel, start time and head-to-head stats

Andy Murray and Dan Evans pulled off a remarkable victory in the opening round of the men's Olympic doubles as they saved five match points to see off Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel of Japan.

Murray has said he will retire following the tournament so the thrilling 2-6 7-6 11-9 victory has put those plans on hold for now.

Next up for the British duo is a second-round showdown with Belgium, who are represented by Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen.

It looks a tough ask for the Brits against two established doubles performers that know one another's game extremely well.

In the opening round, Gille and Vliegen brushed aside home hopefuls Arthur Fils and Ugo Humbert 7-5 6-4 and they are two top 25 performers on the ATP Tour, highlighting their quality.
