On Sunday 7th July 2013, Andy Murray made history by becoming the first British man to win Wimbledon for 77 years, Britain´s most famous tennis tournament. Murray, ranked number 2 in the world, beat Djokovic, ranked number 1 in the world, in straight sets and both gave truly great performance.

Every year, the British public and media puts great pressure on its home players to win the championship. After Fred Perry´s win in 1977, many British men have attempted, but failed to emulate Perry´s victory.

Tim Henman in the late 1990s and early 2000s came close by making it to the semi-finals, and Murray himself came even closer when he reached the final in 2012, but he lost on that occasion to the Swiss Roger Federer. This year, however, the 26-year old Scot was better prepared and deserved his victory.
