Olympics: Tennis

More break points

Ok. Those phones are F***ing annoying now.

TURN THEM OFF YOU IDIOTS.

Fed easily holds his serve.

Murray now serving for the match.

F***ing hell! 

C'mon Andy!

This is your moment. Go and do it Andy.

‎"...he keeps forcing Federer into those unforced errors."

 

Gold medal point!

YES!

Andy Murray, Olympic Champion!!!!!!!     

GOLD FOR MURRAY!!!!

6-2 6-1 6-4!!

Masterclass from Andy Murray.

Well done son.

Now go give Ivan all your love. He's taken you to this moment.

Took down world no 1 en route to Gold!

ANDY MURRAY!!! Fantastic.

Like my mate just said.

It's fitting he wins a big tournament while representing GB. Because he doesn't have to deal with the 'is he English, is he Scottish' talk.

Today he well and truly is British. And that's what matters.

Great performance. He must really want to win the doubles now.

You know it's a special Olympics for Great Britain when Andy Murray wins the biggest title of his career so far. I am so relieved and happy for him. Just wait till you get your gold medal Andy. That will be the moment for you!

We've seen a different Murray today. What a turnaround from the Wimbledon final! Congratulations!

Wow!

I didn't see this coming. I thought Federer would win.

Well done Andy, you are an Olympic Champion! 

Now go and win the mixed doubles. 

Now make it a double!
 

Now make it a double!
 

Pun intended.

Delighted for Andy!

But the english media will be unbearable now. The same people that called him "Scotland's Andy Murray" when things weren't so rosy.

I think that's a bit of a myth exaggerated by us Scottish folk in all honesty.

Absolutely.

I'm not the worlds biggest tennis fan so it's not something that I'd follow relentlessly. But watching sport on the news I think there has been horrible pressure on this lad his whole career. And when he hasn't lived up to expectation I think he has been Scottish more than british. I'm not saying it happens every time but it's a trait of modern media to distance themselves from the "losers".
