Murray finally hits it big

Andy Murray claimed two Olympic medals on Wimbledon’s Centre Court on a day Venus and Serena Williams became the first players to win four Olympic tennis titles.

Scotsman Murray banished the heartbreaking memories of his Wimbledon final defeat against Roger Federer by beating the Swiss tennis legend on the same court to take the Olympic men’s title.

He then joined Laura Robson in the mixed doubles where, despite a brave effort, they lost out in the deciding tie-break, losing 2-6 6-3 10-8 to Belarus’ Max Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka.
