Andy Murray has defeated
Novak Djokovic claiming the Wimbledon Title. He also got a whopping
£1.6 million in prize money, so all in all a good day at the office for Murray today.This win marked him as the first British tennis player to win the competition in 77 years and he even did so in straight sets - Click
HERE for the match statistics. The 26 year old has had an unpredictable history with
Wimbledon which has landed him in multiple semi-finals and the final in 2012 in which he was defeated by Roger Federer. A defeat which surely drove his motivation for returning the following year with absolute resolution to win the title - a feat which has spawned the hashtag
#wimbdledone. This competition was not an easy road for the Scot with both the
Quarter final and
semi final putting him on the brink of defeat before fighting back vigorously. Andy Murray has done what many could not do for decades and today I am a proud national of Scotland and Great Britain to have been alive to witness such an accomplishment for British tennis.
