Murray v Del Potro - as it happened Relive all the drama from our live commentary Murray and Del Potro shared an emotional embrace after a thrilling final After taking almost three-and-a-half hours to beat Rafa Nadal on Saturday, losing the first set could have drained Del Potro but the Argentine seemed inspired and unleashing a flurry of his trademark booming forehands he powered his way back into the match.He never looked back after a break in the opening game of the second set and roared on by the vociferous Argentine contingent he stayed strong to level the match.As both men looked to regain their energies they traded the opening four games of the third with neither in any real trouble on their serve until Murray broke for a 4-2 lead.The Scot had to withstand another barrage of forehand winners as Del Potro again underlined his return to form and fitness only to broken and for Murray to take the third set 6-2, looking like he had finally broken the Argentine.But after a nightmare spell with a wrist injury that have hindered his attempts to scale the heights that saw him win the 2009 US Open, Del Potro was to roar back in a thrilling fourth.

Andy Murray had to be at his best in Rio The 27-year-old kicked off the set by breaking Murray in the first game only for Murray to produce a thrilling game to break back thanks to a sumptuous drop volley.Del Potro then secured a third consecutive break in the set as he looked to wrestle back the initiative but with the Argentine wilting, Murray pounced again to level at 2-2 before the first hold of the set had Murray in front.The Argentine produced his best service game for what seemed like an age to level and then struck as Murrays tame lob looped up to allow the 6ft 6in Del Potro to put away a smash that sealed a fifth break of the set, and Del Potros third.Again the pair traded service games before Del Potro came out to serve for the set and to take the match into a deciding fifth set, but it was an epic 10th game that was to prove crucial, Murray eventually coming out on top, levelling at 5-5 on his fourth break point.Murray survived an early scare to hold for a 6-5 lead and with the pressure now on the Argentine the pair produced a final game that matched the drama and emotion of the match, Murray eventually prevailing before sharing a warm embrace with his opponent at the net.Murrays win makes him the first man to successfully defend the mens Olympic title, but while Del Potro will be disappointed not to have claimed the gold, his performances over the week in Rio show he is on way back to the top level, but the glory was all Murrays.

The San Antonio Spurs All-Star point guard did not play in the second half or overtime of the Western Conference finals-clinching win over Oklahoma City on Saturday because of a sore left ankle. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich doesnt know what shape Parker will be in for Game 1 on Thursday in San Antonio. "I have no idea," Popovich said Saturday night. "I dont know what the deal is." Popovich said Parker sprained the ankle in Game 4 and aggravated it in Game 5. Popovich considered starting Manu Ginobili at point guard in Game 6 against the Thunder because Parker was having trouble during pregame. At halftime, Popovich made the decision to hold him out. "He came to me about eight minutes on the clock (before the second half) and said he couldnt go," Popovich said. "He couldnt cut. He was limping on it. He couldnt cut sideways or forward really." Popovich said he thought playing Parker in the second half would have hurt the team in the long term. "I didnt want him to be a hero because he was 50 per cent or less, we thought," Popovich said. "Thats probably bad for the team if you think about it. It was a tough decision to try to figure out whether to play him, and if you lose the game and it affects him for Monday night, then youre going to feel like you made an unwise choice." Parker has been plagued by injuries this year. He averaged 16.7 points and 5.7 assists while shooting 50 per cent from the field during the regular season, but he missed 22 games. He strained his left hamstring in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals aagainst Portland and did not return.dddddddddddd The Spurs won that game easily to clinch the series. Once again, his teammates bought him some rest. Had the Spurs lost Game 6, they would have faced an elimination game at home Monday against the Thunder. "We didnt know how much Tony was hurt in his ankle," forward Boris Diaw said. "But we didnt want to go to Game 7, and we didnt know if he would be ready to play if we did or if he would be 100 per cent, so we tried to get it over with tonight." Still, the Spurs have proven all season they can win without key players, posting the NBAs best record despite a series of injuries. "We have to continue to play basketball regardless of who is on the floor and our reserves did a great job - Cory (Joseph), Patty (Mills) - they stepped in and continued to run the offence and push the pace and playing good defence on their guards as well," guard Danny Green said. Joseph started the second half of Game 6 against Oklahoma City and helped engineer a 37-point third quarter. "Cory was very good," Ginobili said. "I mean, its hard to play when you dont have many opportunities to play in close games and stuff. But he did very well in Game 3 and 4 here. He always brings the juice, aggressiveness, competitiveness. He attacks the rim well. I think he made a few key plays." The Spurs said they excel without their stars because they are about a system, rather than individuals. "We have been doing what we did the whole year, which is passing the ball to each other, getting some movement, getting pace and getting into a good rhythm," Diaw said. "Always trying to set up a good shot for a teammate." ' ' '
