Andy Murray makes history by winning consecutive gold medals at the Olympics

Murray's stellar year showed no sign of stopping as he successfully defended his title, defeating Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro 7-5 4-6 6-2 7-5. Britain's world No. 2, who beat Roger Federer for gold at London 2012, emerged victorious from an almighty four-hour struggle against a man whose run to the final has made him one of the most popular athletes of these Games.
"I know tonight's one of the hardest matches that I've had to play for a big, big title," Murray told reporters.
"It was one of the toughest matches that I've played to win a big event, for sure."
Andy Murray made it a golden summer Sunday after adding the Rio 2016 Olympic men's tennis gold medal to his Wimbledon triumph. In doing so, the men's World No. 2 has become the first tennis player to win consecutive gold medals.
