Andy Murray is hoping for a "great match" in the final of the Olympics men's singles tournament after setting up a repeat of the Wimbledon final against Roger Federer.
Murray was in imperious form as he defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets in Friday evening's semi-final, 7-5 7-5, and is 2.37 to defeat the world number one on Sunday. In contrast, Federer, who can be backed at 1.57 to take the gold medal, took four hours and 26 minutes to see off Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro, eventually taking a marathon final set 19-17.
Federer won his seventh Wimbledon title after defeating Murray in July, but the Scot is hoping the 17-times Grand Slam winner's relative lack of Olympic singles experience will play in his favour this time round.

"It's so rare for him to be in a position where he's trying to do something new because he's achieved so much in tennis," said Murray, who is guaranteed at least a silver medal. "I hope that will even things out a little bit. "Most times I've played him, he's experienced the situations way, way more times than me."
He added: "I want to try to win. I don't think going into matches trying to get revenge for something that's happened in the past really helps. I think you need to try and focus on the future. "It's going to be a tough match. I'll need to play great tennis to win. I hope it's a great match because the way the semi-finals went, the tournament deserves a great final. I hope we can provide that."
