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

He had never beaten Federer in a best-of-five-sets match and lost to him in this year’s Wimbledon final.

Murray’s triumph came four weeks to the day since that 6-4 5-7 3-6 4-6 loss to Federer at the All England Club.

“It’s number one for me – the biggest win of my life,” said Murray.

“I have had a lot of tough losses in my career and this is the best way to come back from the Wimbledon final.”
