Andy Murray wins men's singles Olympics tennis gold

19:48 • 05.08.12

Andy Murray captured the biggest title of his career with an emphatic victory over Roger Federer in the Olympic men's singles final at Wimbledon.

 

Murray beat the Swiss world number one in straight sets, 6-2 6-1 6-4, on a raucous Centre Court.

 

The 25-year-old Scot had never beaten Federer in a best-of-five-sets match and lost to him in the Wimbledon final, BBC reports.

 

He is the first British man to win the Olympic singles gold medal since Josiah Ritchie in 1908.
