Andy Murray has said being Great Britain's flag bearer for Friday's Olympic opening ceremony will be the "number one" moment of his career.
The 29-year-old, who won his second Wimbledon singles title last month, is the first tennis player to be chosen for the role.
Murray, also the defending Olympic men's singles champion, told BBC Sport: "It's bigger than winning a tournament.
"It doesn't get much bigger than a chance to lead out your country."
Describing the moment he was told he was going to carry the Union flag on behalf of the 366-strong squad, Murray added: "I've never felt that proud before.
