    For so many people lucky enough to know Andy [Murray] personally it's the involvement and support that he gives, considering all that he's achieved and the fact he's been at the very pinnacle of the sport in its strongest era ever.

    He'll always know the results of all the British players, he'll always congratulate you if you won a first round at the lowest level of professional tennis, he'd congratulate his opponents when they have broken into the world's top 100 for the first time.

    He's so kind, he's so supportive and he's set the bar for British tennis for years.

    Inscribed above the doors that lead to Wimbledon's Centre Court is a famous line from Rudyard Kipling's poem, If.

    "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same," it reads.

    It is there to remind the world's best and their challengers that you are defined by more than the scoreboard.

    No-one knows that as well as Andy Murray.

    The grass courts at SW19 were the scene of a four-week period in 2012 that changed the way a swathe of the British public thought of Murray. Beaten in the Wimbledon final, he regrouped, returned and won Olympic gold on the same court in front of packed stands.

    He swore. He cried. He celebrated. He felt the love.

    This is the story of the 28 days that confirmed Murray as a national treasure.

    The Tokyo gold medallist wraps up three wins out of three and heads to tomorrow's semi-finals in fine form.

    But a little word of caution if you think it's going to be a cakewalk to another gold - two rivals, the USA's Alise Willoughby and Australia's Saya Sakakibara, also won all three of their races.

  15. Murray's career ends with Olympic doubles defeatpublished at 21:20 British Summer Time 1 August

    An epic journey comes to an end.

    British tennis icon Andy Murray's illustrious career ended with a straight-set defeat in the Olympic men's doubles quarter-finals.

    Murray and Dan Evans lost 6-2 6-4 to American third seeds Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.

    Murray, 37, confirmed before the Paris Games that it would be his final event before retiring from the sport.

    After a long hug with Evans at the baseline, Murray was visibly emotional at the noise created by the fans at Roland Garros chanting his name in loving appreciation.

    A fifth Olympics is the final juncture of a tumultuous journey which led Murray to three Grand Slam titles and the top of the world rankings.
