World number one Roger Federer has insisted that the Olympics is the perfect opportunity for Andy Murray to bounce back from his Wimbledon heartbreak.

The Swiss beat the Scot in four sets at the final of SW19 to claim his seventh Wimbledon title and force the British number one to continue his wait for his first Grand Slam crown.

Murray is to represent Team GB in the same arena later this month, and Federer is adamant that the London Games will help him recover from his loss.

"That can happen, it's no problem but it's the mindset that counts for him now and I think what's going to help him is actually that the Olympics are going to be back here," said Federer.

"So he has right away a chance to sort of forget about the loss and move on and re-create something extraordinary here at Wimbledon for the Olympic Games this time and for the country.

"So it's a big moment in his career and I think he's only going up from here and not down which is a good thing for him."

Murray admitted after the English Grand Slam that he needed a break from tennis.
