Biggest win of my life, says Murray

London: Andy Murray won the London Olympics men’s singles gold medal at Wimbledon on Sunday evening. He defeated Roger Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 in a rematch of the Wimbledon final few weeks ago. Excerpts from an interview:

On winning the gold medal: "It's definitely easier winning the final than losing. It was quite tough conditions, quite windy, but I did well. That's number one for me. The biggest win of my life. This week's been absolutely incredible so far, I've had a lot of fun. I felt so fresh on the court today. I didn't feel nervous really at all apart from at the beginning of the match."

On the crowd support: "The atmosphere was unbelievable. I spoke to Ivan Lendl after the Wimbledon final and he said to me you'll never play under more pressure than you did in the Wimbledon final. I'm able to deal with the situations better now and I did, I felt much more comfortable on the court. They (the crowd) helped me get a few extra miles an hour the last couple of serves. I went for some big serves and I got them. The whole week has been amazing. It's worth it. I've had a lot of tough losses in my career, but this is the best way to come back from the Wimbledon final. I'll never forget it.
