Murray wins the gold medal

Andy Murray makes history after he won his back to back gold medal in singles. The Brit backed his 2012 triumph in London to bring another medal to his team. 

Andy had to face a spirited Del Potro in the final; the Argentine has defeated Djokovic and Nadal on the way, but Murray was too good in the final act of the tournament. Murray was much fresher than Juan Martin that had to play 3 hours the day before against Nadal, and the Brit was still more used to “big events”.

The final lasted 4 hours, and the result was 7-5 4-6 6-2 7-5. The 4th set lasted 75 minutes with Murray saving two break points before gaining the decisive break in the 12th game.

I am very proud. MURRAY

Andy reflected on how difficult is to win two gold medals back to back in singles “The fact that it hasn’t been done before shows it’s a very difficult thing to do. So I’m very proud.”

The Scot is meant to go to play in Cincinnati where he is seeded no.1 if he still has any energy left.
