Andy Murray claimed Olympic gold in the Men's Singles and he has now had his odds of being named Sports Personality of the Year 2012 slashed by bookmakers Coral.

After his magnificent gold medal match win over Roger Federer, Coral bookmakers have slashed the price of Andy Murray winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year to 5-1 (from 10-1). He has also been cut to 4-1 (from 11-2) to win the US Open.

*Murray is set to contest the mixed doubles final with Laura Robson later today.
