Unbelievable but outstanding!

Finally, there is a British Men’s Singles Wimbledon Championship.  Every time it was repeated, it was like magic dancing in the air.  People have lived long lives without this happening in their lifetime.  Andy Murray is also the first British player to win the British Open in shorts, as Fred Perry did it in trousers.  Now, over a calendar month, Murray has won Olympic Gold (at Wimbledon), the US Open and now Wimbledon and has to be a shoe-in for sports Personality of the Year, no matter what Chris Froome or others do (or indeed Justin Rose has done) between now and 31^st December.  If not Sir Andy Murray, he will definitely be richly rewarded in the New Year’s Honours List.  Also, as Boris Becker pointed out, he holds two out of the four Open championships, by which by any conventional measure makes him world number one (he also won Queens to make his British career summer complete).

Novak Djokovic made a few mistakes with his forehand, probably still weary after the longest ever Wimbledon semi-final (at 4hrs 44 mins), but Murray reached seemingly impossible balls to loft winners.  Even Djokovic broke Murray’s serve, the latter broke back.  To win in three sets against such a formidable player as Djokovic is quite incredible as well.  Murray didn’t just win Wimbledon, he deserved to win Wimbledon.  How long before a bronze statue?  He will get one eventually, no doubt about it.
