Murray becomes Olympic champion in straight sets

Andy Murray followed one of the greatest days in British Olympic history with one of the best performances British tennis has ever seen as he crushed Roger Federer to win London 2012 gold.

Murray exacted the sweetest revenge possible for his tear-jerking Wimbledon final loss by inflicting Federer’s heaviest ever defeat at the All England Club and winning his country’s first men’s singles title since 1908.
