WHEN British tennis player Andy Murray take the courts in the Olympics one of his prime inspiration will be memories of Usain Bolt’s much talked performance in Beijing four years ago.

According to heraldsun.com.au the player says he has recovered from the devastation of defeat to Roger Federer in the Wimbleton final on July 8.

Seeded third at the All England Club for Saturday's tournament, Murray said Jamaican superstar Bolt is at the core of his most electric Olympic experiences.

"The last memory I have of the last Olympics in Beijing was watching the 100m final, watching Usain Bolt," Murray was quoted as saying in the article.

"It was pretty amazing how far he won by, to see what he did throughout the Games."
