Nike NBA Jerseys China . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No.Gold will be on Andy Murrays mind when he plays in a second successive Olympic final on Sunday.The world No. 2 is the first man ever to achieve the feat and, should he retain the title he won so gloriously in 2012, he would become the first tennis player to win back to back singles golds.In an era dominated by three all-time greats, to accomplish something Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have not done first is a huge feather in Murrays cap.The goal is to just try and win a gold medal, he said. Im not really thinking about any of the stuff that goes with that just now.Its obviously a very difficult thing to do, hence why its not been done before. Ill go out there, hopefully play a good match, fight as hard as I can, give it everything and see what happens.If Murray can find the same form he showed in a 6-1, 6-4 demolition of fourth seed Kei Nishikori then he will be tough to beat.The 29-year-old knew he needed to step things up after surviving tight, tense tussles against Fabio Fognini and Steve Johnson and he did just that.Murray served superbly and dominated off the ground, with Nishikori failing to create a break point during the match.The Scot said: I served very well and I had no lulls in the match. I made most of the games really tough for him. Even the ones that I lost he was having to work hard for.I knew after yesterday, both of us had long matches. His singles was physically probably tougher than mine but I also had to play mixed [doubles].I knew if I could get off to a good start, make it physically tough for him after that then it would be hard and thats what happened.The one big disappointment was the crowd, with the stadium half full at best by the end and significantly less than that for much of it.But they were all on their feet at the end of the remarkable penulttimate point, which ended with Murray sat on his backside with arm aloft after somehow conjuring a winning passing shot.ddddddddddddHe said: I just came up with a bit of a lucky shot down the line. I didnt even see it bounce so I didnt know whether it was in or not. Thankfully it was good.I was obviously pumped because if he turns that around and potentially breaks its a totally different match. It was a huge point.One thing Murray certainly should not lack, when he plays Juan Martin Del Potro in the final, is confidence.He extended his career-best winning streak to 17 matches and has now won 28 of his last 29, winning titles in Rome, at Queens Club and Wimbledon and reaching the final of the French Open.Murray was rewarded for his achievements both Olympic and otherwise by being given the honour of carrying the British flag at the opening ceremony and is pleased to have ensured he will contribute to the medals table.He can at worst leave Rio with silver, adding to the singles gold and mixed doubles silver he won in London.The last four months definitely have been the best period of my career, said Murray.My job is to try to keep that going now and keep up the consistency Ive had.Ive played not my best tennis this week but found a way to win. Often in events you have matches like the one yesterday or the one against Fognini that if you can get through you start to find your form and feel better.When youre competing for your country you do feel a bit of extra responsibility, obviously.After carrying the flag, I didnt want to go and bomb out in the first round and not play well. Im glad I was able to win a medal and to win gold would cap off a special 10 days for me. ' ' '
