Andy Murray will be the third seed at the Olympic tennis tournament as he seeks to bounce back from his recent Wimbledon final defeat. Andy Murray will have two chances to win an Olympic medal (Picture: Daily Mail) The British no.1 is ranked fourth in the world but has a higher seeding due to Rafael Nadal?s absence from the competition through injury. Murray will take to the All England Club courts just a few weeks after his defeat to Roger Federer in the Grand Slam final. The Swiss, who went back to world no.1 with his Wimbledon win, is the top seed for the Olympic tournament. Novak Djokovic, who Federer beat in the semi-final, is the no.2 seed. Murray revealed that he returned to the Centre Court at Wimbledon to help him get over the defeat to Federer. ?I went back on Centre Court and just sat there for a little while. I was thinking a little bit about the match and then thinking a bit about what it was going to be like at the Olympics,? he said. ?The whole venue changed so quickly after the tournament. They already had all the London 2012 backdrops up at the back of the court. ?It actually looks quite different with all the purple round it. It maybe got my mind to looking forward.? Murray will have two chances to win a medal as he will also be playing doubles, alongside brother Jamie.
