Andy Murray wins tennis gold for Great Britain

Britain's Andy Murray became the first tennis player to win two Olympic singles titles by beating Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro in Rio.

An emotional Murray, 29, secured a thrilling 7-5 4-6 6-2 7-5 victory to make it GB's most successful day at an overseas Games with five gold medals.

The see-saw match featured 14 breaks of serve in front of a raucous crowd.

Murray's win comes five weeks after he claimed his second Wimbledon title and four years after London 2012 success.
