RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Andy Murray is making a habit of accomplishing things that hadn't been done in a while.
Or ever.
Murray became the first tennis player in Olympic history with two singles gold medals, winning his second in a row by wearing down Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 at the Rio de Janeiro Games in a final that lasted a tad more than 4 hours Sunday.
At the 2012 London Olympics, Murray won a singles gold and mixed doubles silver at the All England Club. That, of course, was also the site of his history-making Wimbledon championship in 2013, when he ended the hosts' 77-year wait for a British man to claim the trophy.
