Unbelievably tight battle - Novak is a great champion - but Andy is Murray the Magnificent!
Wonder how many viewers are still spark out on the floor with the strain of the excitement.

The cheer that went up here was amazing - obviously lots of neighbours have been enjoying Wimbledon garden parties !  ;D

77 years since the last Brit and on the 7th day of the  7th  month, Andy Murray wins Wimbledon -  Wonderful !!!!

Magnificent drama ... and true British spirit ... and what a gentleman the runner-up was.

I think Boris was right when he said that it will be either one of them taking the Grand Slams for the foreseeable future.  As Cliff said Novak Djokovic was a real gentleman, I get the feeling that they enjoy pitting themselves against each other.

Lovely interviews afterwards, too, I watched one last night, and touching, especially when he was asked about the tragic events at his school many years ago. That's a great burden to carry. I expect there were many tears mixed with the cheers. :) Let's hope a lot of good will come of it to all in Dunblane. :) :) :)
