Andy Murray made Olympic history in Rio last night after becoming the first tennis star to win back-to-back golds on Team GB's Super Sunday.
The 29-year-old Scot defeated Argentine Juan Martin del Potro in an epic final to win his second consecutive Olympic tennis gold following his victory in London four years ago.
Just weeks after his second Wimbledon victory, Murray was in floods of tears as he became the first person in history to win two Olympic gold medals in the singles competition and the first person to defend the title.
His brother Jamie tweeted about his sibling's extraordinary success, saying: 'Double Gold Medalist @andy_murray Extraterrestrial. Raised by a family in Dunblane, Scotland'.
It came as Team GB secured six gold medals overall yesterday - the greatest day in British Olympic history since 1908.
