Any Wimbledon tennis fans amongst you? I hope Murray does us proud this year. Loved the tennis in the days of McEnroe and Jimmy Connors, they were always entertaining.

I think we have witnessed a unique sporting moment this afternoon....nay, it's a miracle!
Andy Murray cracking a smile :^O

Well done Andy. Well deserved. 🙂

Joking aside, it was a very good match - even I was cheering him on, never thought I'd see the day!

Well done Andy, you did us proud and got Britain smiling again, :-):-) Two achievements in one afternoon, LOL Someone has already said they wonder if it will be SIR Andy Murray next.

Ahhh im so happy 🙂

Stayed down in Yarmouth to watch the final.  It was perfect end to a perfect weekend.  We were going to leave at 1pm and I'm so glad we stayed and we watched the whole match otherwise we may have missed the end.  Felt like a dream even though i had a cushion over my face at times as could not bear to watch!  

This is a very good day for Great Britain, and we are indeed a 'great' nation!!!!  

Blimin marvellous, well done Andy :-):-):-)

This fabulous montage was shown on the BBC at the end of the Murray game on Friday evening after he had won the semi final.  The song is called 'What If' by Alistair Griffin and was written specially for the occasion.  The full length version can be found on youtube minus the montage.  

We must never give up on our dreams 🙂

Well, if he'd done it any better and taken all the chances he had it would have totally humiliated Novac who is a nice lad, so I'll wear the extra grey hairs and bitten nails he caused me 😄

I'm doubly pleased that the nation has taken him to their hearts now. 

Lets hope he gets home to his adored border terriers quickly and get a bit of R&R for a couple of days.

Fred Perry won Wimbledon 3 yrears in a row and was not knighted. Let's keep a sense of perspective, Mr Cameron.

Andy Murray is to donate all of his £1.6 million Wimbledon winnings to the cancer research and care at the Royal Marsden Hospital its been reported, so maybe he is being recognised for more than just his sporting accomplishments

[ilove2patch]

I had heard that was a rumour. I hope it is true.:-)

[****merlin*****]

i dont know if its true or not

he donated £75k a wee while ago to the same place, i think i remember reading he has a friend being treated there

[**towery**]

ive heard the donation rumour  and its been  both confirmed and denied  lol

that gif has been doing the rounds

i cant work out if the creator is an idiot or pedant

they have purposely worded it

he is the first British male to have won the mens singles

if they titled his win correctly.......
