Andy Murray doesn't have the slightest of doubts about the most special win of his career as the former world No. 1 says winning the London Olympics was bigger than landing his maiden Wimbledon title.
In the summer of 2012, Murray delivered big time at his home Summer Games. That year, the former British tennis star ousted Novak Djokovic in two sets in the semifinal, before also handing out a straight-set loss to Roger Federer in the final.
The following year, Murray also became a Wimbledon champion for the first time in his career after beating Djokovic in the final.
Three years later, the Briton made it all the way at the Rio Summer Games to become the first-ever tennis player to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals. That same year, he collected his second title at The Championships.
Murray asked to pick between his firstgold medal and Wimbledon title
Gold medal in London, the British tennis legend said on Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips.
Murray then mentioned the case of Novak Djokovic, who was 37 when he won the 2024 Paris Summer Games and finally became a gold medalist.
A lot of tennis players dont think tennis should be in the Olympics because its not considered the pinnacle. But Djokovic won the Olympics in Paris, and if you go and see how he reacted to winning that in comparison to any of his Grand Slams, he was significantly more emotional. All the tennis players who have won golds... The most amazing thing, but a lot of people dont think it should be part of it," the former world No. 1 added.
In my career, Ive played 15 or 16 Wimbledons, but the Olympics, you get very few chances at and never going to get another chance at a home Olympics either."
Murray retired from pro tennis by representing Great Britain at the Summer Games for one last time. In Paris, he teamed up with Dan Evans and they reached the quarterfinal.
