Summary

Two days after losing in the Wimbledon final, Andy Murray walked back out on to Centre Court to reflect.

LONDON — Two days after losing in the Wimbledon final, Andy Murray walked back out on to Centre Court to reflect.

It was a chance for him to dwell on falling short again in a Grand Slam final, but also to prepare himself for a quick return to action at the All England Club for the Olympics.

Reflecting on the aftermath of the loss to Roger Federer, Murray says "I cried a lot ... then I just started sort of doing other things ... (to) stop thinking about the past."

Murray says going karting and visiting a comedy club have helped to prepare his mind so he doesn't throw away his shot at Olympic gold.
