Maturing Murray
In fact, he is almost there. It needed the brilliance of probably the greatest tennis player the world has known to prevent him from attaining the Wimbledon title.
Andy showed maturity, graciousness and outstanding play in defeat and gained many more supporters throughout Britain and the rest of the world.

As A dedicated tennis player and follower, I was as keen as anyone to see Andy Murray lift the winner’s trophy.
Nevertheless, losing a Wimbledon final, thereby walking away with a mere £575,000 worth of prize money, and multi-million-pound sponsorships, is hardly a tragedy up there with, say, being told you have only a few months to live – yet I have seen those in the latter situation exuding less grief and mawkish floods of tears than Mr Murray, his family and other luminaries managed to pour forth on Andy’s defeat, all much to the delight of the media.
