Murray Takes Gold Medal in Tennis

Four major competitions, four different champions this year in Men's Tennis, as today Andy Murray wins the Gold Medal for Great Britain, defeating Switzerland's Roger Federer in straight sets 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 at Centre Court at Wimbledon.

In a rematch of last month's Wimbledon final, in which Federer won to reclaim the world #1 ranking, Murray simply dominated Federer, forcing him into unforced error after unforced error. It was shocking to see how dominant Murray, who has never won a Grand Slam, was in dispatching Federer so easily. 

"I've had a lot of tough losses in my career," he said. "This is the best way to come back from the Wimbledon final. I'll never forget it."

The match result also showed the immense amount of parity in the sport this year, with Novak Djokovic winning the Australian, Rafael Nadal the French, Federer Wimbledon, and Murray the Olympics. It sets up what should be an amazing U.S. Open next month in New York.
