    It's been golden oldies day at the Olympics tennis tournament


    37-year-old Andy Murray, paired with Dan Evans, saved five match points in a super tiebreak before beating the Japanese duo to progress to the next round in the men's doubles.

    And 38-year-old Rafael Nadal - playing at the venue of his 14 French grand slam titles - has set up a 60th career meeting with Novak Djokovic in the men's singles after a nervy first round win.

    The 37-year-old Djokovic leads their head-to-head battles 30 to 29.
