"You won, because you had lost"

[Torres]

Love this quote.

Lendl does not talk much – to the media or, as it happens, at length to Murray, but they did celebrate his Olympic gold. He told him he won because he'd lost.

"I said to him, 'A loss is a loss; and a loss is not a loss. You learn from certain losses and become depressed from other ones. When you have losses, when you put it all out there and go hard, you can be proud of yourself.

And you can learn from it, and that is really important.'"
