Andy Murray has
finally won the Wimbledon Championship after beating Novak Djokovic.
The
drought for Britain has
finally ended after Murray
is the first champion in 77 years. Having lost to Roger Federer in last years
Final, Andy Murray has finally clinched the prestigious trophy!
The final game was 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 netted a backhand to end the contest.
After a gruelling three hours 10 minutes
in searing temperatures, Murray
had 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.
He could barely believe he had won
saying: "It feels slightly different to last year. Last year was one of
the toughest moments of my career, so to manage to win the tournament today...
"It was an unbelievably tough
match, so many long games."
