Gold medal thrill keeps Murray awake at night

Andy Murray says that the thrill of his Olympic gold medal run is not allowing him to sleep well at night. Murray won his opening match in Toronto and will play Canada’s Milos Raonic in a highly-anticipated clash tonight.

"You know, it's just not when I finished the match and played the mixed (doubles). It doesn't end there. We just don't relax on Sunday night and Monday and then get ourselves ready to come," Murray told reporters. "The last few days have just gone so quick. I've been not really sleeping much in the evening at all. Normally I sleep for nine, 10 hours a night. Maximum I've been sleeping four hours a day. That suggests I'm still fairly excited about it. The tournament was the best tournament of my life. To win a gold medal in your home Olympics, not many people get a chance to do that. And to do it against Roger [Federer] on Wimbledon Centre Court made it even more special. It was a great week.

"Mentally, I feel in a good place…I’ll need to see over the next few weeks whether it’s changed my mindset going forward. I’m sure I will have gained a fair amount of confidence from it. But confidence in individual sports comes and goes very quickly."
