Written by author on July 7, 2013
Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon title and ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s champion with a hard-fought victory over world number one Novak Djokovic.
Murray converted his fourth championship point in a dramatic final game to win 6-4 7-5 6-4 and claim his second major title.
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 resolve .
After a gruelling three hours 10 minutes in searing temperatures, Andy Murray had finally followed in the footsteps of Fred Perry’s 1936 win at the All England Club.
The Scot added: “I don’t know how I managed to come through that last game from [holding] three match points.
“I’m so glad to finally do it.”
