Olympics: Defending champion Murray into men's singles final

RIO DE JANEIRO, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th August, 2016) - Andy Murray crushed Kei Nishikori 6-1, 6-4 on Saturday to move one win away from becoming the first player to win back-to-back Olympic singles titles. The world number two, and reigning Wimbledon champion, will face either 2008 Olympic gold medallist Rafael Nadal or Juan Martin del Potro in Sunday's championship match.

Victory allowed 29-year-old Murray to extend his mastery over Nishikori to 7-1 and stretch his current winning streak to a career-best 17 matches.
