He was in tears this time last year when he was beaten by RF but has fate will have it, this year he's full of joy after beaten Novak is three straight set to end the British wait since 1936.

Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon title and ended Britain's 77-year-wait for a men's champion with a brilliant victory over world number one Novak Djokovic.

The Scot, 26, converted his fourth championship point in a dramatic final game to win 6-4 7-5 6-4 and claim his second major title.

In an atmosphere reminiscent of his Olympic final win last summer, Murray was willed on by the majority of the 15,000 spectators on Centre Court, thousands watching on the nearby big screen and millions more around the country.
And after a gruelling three hours and 10 minutes in temperatures exceeding 40C, he finally followed in the footsteps of Fred Perry's 1936 win at the All England Club.

Perry used to leap over the net in celebration, but Britain's new champion roared in delight before sinking to his knees on the turf.

The final game had been a battle in itself, with Murray seeing three match points slip by from 40-0 and fending off three Djokovic break points with some fearless hitting, before the Serb sent a backhand fly long to end the contest.
Murray then headed into the stands to celebrate with his family and support team, before parading the trophy around Centre Court.

Does it affect the price of garri in the market

Congrats Murray, you did well. Making the British proud.

I am so happy for him.

wow congrats

even after he won the first 2 sets i still feared for him because novak is a beast. if there's any man alive who could win a match from 2 sets down it had to be the serb. but it was never meant to be as he lost in straight sets. novak djokovic will never know what hit him.

In Numbers!
On the 7th day of the 7th month, after 77years of waiting, Andy Murray puts Great Britain on the world map of Tennis by winning Wimbledon 2013 edition!

I helped him with my Merlin powers.
I kept yelling 'Tospringe' at the TV set.

Some people are funny. I see many bb users putting 'congratulations Andy' as their dp message yet many of them have never seen a tennis match before.!

That's what's up, my Scottish brother.

The UK got the juice now, thanks to Andy.

Proud of you!!

Congrats Andy!

Congrat to the Scot!

So this is the motive of the british by pouring only what god knows on the wimblendon pitch making our stars to have injury at the start of the tournament.

I know, hence why I called him "my Scottish brother."

Andy sees himself as a Scot and he doesn't like the British tag.

However, I love Andy Murray and everything he stands for - and I admire Scottish people. They made this Island what it's.

You need to check yahoosports for the verbal civil war going on between Scottish and English folks - it's hysterical!!

Dream realised! Congrats Andy.

well deserved. Congrats andy murray!

FORK ANDY FORK THE QUEEN AND FORK FISH AND CHIPS

If he win dem go call am British,if he loose dem go call am Scottish...Obodo Oyibo pple sha..Baba Fergie and judy murray will be happy now!

Nonsense.
This overrated brit just ruined my day.
Bbc,dailymail,and the mirror will be practically a "no-go area" for the next 3 weeks.

The British will celebrate this like FIFA world cup final. anyway, good for Andy.
