Roger Federer admits that winning a gold medal in the men's singles at the London Olympics will be a "dream come true".

Roger Federer has revealed that winning a gold medal in the men's singles at the London Olympics would be a "dream come true".

The Swiss number one seed, who won gold with doubles partner Stanislas Wawrinka in 2008, is through to the third round following a comfortable straight-sets victory over France's Julien Benneteau on Monday.

When asked what a gold in the singles would mean to him, the 30-year-old told reporters: "Dream come true, I would say, because I definitely get inspired by the 1992 victory by Marc Rosset. He won the Olympics. That was huge news in Switzerland. I definitely felt like I was inspired by that on an Olympic level.

"Then I just remember following all the great Olympians for many years. I also hoped one day I could take part in the Olympics."

The 17-time Grand Slam winner will meet Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin on Wednesday for a place in the quarter-finals.
