Tennis.com Wimbledon grading. (http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2013/07/weird-good-way/48264/#.UdrXD-dzaic)
Andy Murray
At the start of the tournament, the theme—or hype, depending on your point of view—was that Murray had grown up. He had shown the country his vulnerable side at last year’s Wimbledon final, and the country had finally responded to him. He had bounced back from his loss in that match to win a gold medal and his first Grand Slam. This year, he had gained life perspective from his friend Ross Hutchins’ cancer diagnosis. Now, finally, Murray the former surly boy with authority issues, was ready to win Wimbledon, and the Wimbledon audience was ready to embrace him. It had all seemed a little contrived at the time, but this fairytale came true—the Scot won, and the English crowd was behind him like never before. And why not? Murray the player has never been more impressive, and the Murray the man never more likable.
Murray the player came back from two sets down against Fernando Verdasco, picked apart the dangerous Jerzy Janowicz, and out-ran the world No. 1 for the title. He found ways to win rather than to lose, and to the seal the title, he had to win one of the most nerve-wracking games anyone in tennis has ever had to play. In the Times, Simon Barnes writes that when he looked up at the press after winning the last point, his face showed true bliss. I saw joy and relief, too, but also a tinge of madness in his eye. As he said to Sue Barker when she told him how tortuous the final game had been to watch, “Imagine having to play it.”
Then Murray the man showed that he hadn’t just won this one for himself: He had won it for Ivan, for Great Britain, for Dunblane, even for the press! For all of them, he said, he had “tried his best.” He didn’t say that he had succeeded; he said that he had tried. Dedicated to the task since he was 14, only he knew how much it had taken to give Britain a winner again. A+

Holy, holy, holy mackerel and all the fish in the all seas. I have been watching tennis for 60 years – 60 years and I have never seen a more emotionally draining occasion than the one on Centre Court on Sunday. Oh baby, it was special. As a New Yorker it takes something to say this but this, a Wimbledon final below perfect blue skies, is a setting that I don’t think can be beaten. Add a Brit winning and there you go. It cannot get better.
I did not expect three sets and the way the match started off, those long thudding rallies, boom, boom, boom, 30 minutes for the first couple of games, long points, long games. So where did Andy Murray win it? Because let’s just be straight with this – Novak Djokovic did not lose it, Murray won it.

Andy Murray - Final
Sunday 7 July 2013
Andy Murray talks to the media after defeating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 to win the men's singles title.
Q. Many congratulations. You said to us before that nothing would probably top the US Open. Are you changing your mind on that at all?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I also said that, you know, winning Wimbledon I think is the pinnacle of tennis. I think, yeah, I mean, the last game almost increased that feeling. You know, if I had closed it out at 40 Love I worked so hard in that last game. It's the hardest few points I've had to play in my life.
And, yeah, it was a different match to the US Open. Yeah, winning Wimbledon, yeah, I still can't believe it. Can't get my head around that. I can't believe it.
Q. At the end it looked like you didn't know whether to smile or cry. Has it sunk in yet? If not, when do you think it will?
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, who knows. I think just how that last game went my head was kind of everywhere. I mean, some of the shots he came up with were unbelievable. I maybe played one bad point at deuce. I remember missing a forehand in the net.
But he came up with some unbelievable shots in that last game. Yeah, I think that's why at the end of the match I didn't quite know what was going on. Just a lot of different emotions at that time.
Q. The word 'disbelief', to watch you when you got the trophy and going through the halls, you had this look on your face. Can you describe the disbelief that's gone on? Are you aware that you're the first Brit to ever win this tournament in shorts?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I mean, the last sort of 30 minutes have been a bit of a blur really. I mean, yeah, from 4 2 down in the third set to now, I don't know I don't really know what to say just now.
It was just an amazing finish to the match. I was glad I managed to, you know, see all of my team and stuff afterwards. They saw what it was like last year after the match. It was a completely different feeling this year.
And, yeah, I still, like I said, can't believe it's happened. This one will take a little while to sink in, I'm sure.
Q. It was a straight sets win, but it must feel like one of the toughest five setters you've ever played.
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, so tough. I mean, it was so hot, as well. I hadn't played any matches in the heat of the day.
And also since the clay court season, since I missed the French Open with my back, it had been cool. I hadn't played at all in those sort of conditions. The first few games were brutal as well. It was like 30 minutes, the first four games, so it was a physically incredibly demanding match.
And the end mentally, that last game will be the toughest game I'll play in my career, ever.
Q. Dunblane was absolutely deserted today. Any message for your hometown?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I mean, I spoke to my grandparents on the phone just now. They were watching the match at the local sports club where I grew up playing. It was absolutely packed in there.
Yeah, just thanks for always supporting me. I'm glad I managed to win this one for them.
Q. Is your biggest achievement making Ivan smile? And what did he say to you at the end?
ANDY MURRAY: He just said that he was proud of me, which obviously coming from him means a lot. You know, he doesn't smile in public too much, but when he's away from the crowds and the cameras he's a very different character.
Yeah, I just think for him, obviously ideally he would have won it himself, but I think this was the next best thing for him. I'm saying it seriously.
Yeah, I mean, I think he believed in me when a lot of people didn't. He stuck by me through, yeah, obviously some tough losses the last couple of years. He's been very patient with me. I'm just happy I managed to do it for him.
Q. In terms of a day to day thing, what difference do you think he's made to you working with you?
ANDY MURRAY: He's made me learn more from the losses that I've had than maybe I did in the past. I think he's always been very honest with me. He's always told me exactly what he thought. And in tennis, it's not always that easy to do in a player/coach relationship. The player is sometimes the one in charge. I think sometimes coaches are not always that comfortable doing that.
But he's been extremely honest with me. If I work hard, he's happy. If I don't, he's disappointed, and he'll tell me.
And, yeah, when I've lost matches, last year after the final he told me he was proud of the way I played because I went for it when I had chances. It was the first time I played a match in a Grand Slam final like that.
He's got my mentality slightly different going into those sort of matches.
Q. The moment you won you seemed not to turn to your players box. You seemed to turn to others in the crowd. We couldn't quite work out who. Was it anyone in particular?
ANDY MURRAY: No, it wasn't anyone in particular. I was staring in the direction of quite a few of the guys in the press (smiling). I think, yeah, there's a subconscious part of me.
Obviously I've had a difficult relationship at times over the years. The last few years have been much better. I mean, I know for you guys it's important that I win this tournament. You know, I tried. Obviously tried my best. I worked as hard as I could to do it.
Yeah, I wasn't thinking before the match point if I win this I'm going to look at the press, but I finished the point and, yeah, that was just what my eyes were kind of fixed on.
Q. What was going through your mind in the break before the final game? A lot of thinking time to consider that you just have to serve it out and you win Wimbledon.
ANDY MURRAY: I was thinking, honestly, where I was going to serve my first serve. Often in games when you're serving for matches, you know, the first point of the game can be crucial. So I was thinking exactly where I was going to serve.
That was pretty much it really. I wasn't thinking anything else. But, yeah, I won the first three points, and it was the hardest game ever. Yeah, that was it. I really wasn't thinking about much else.
Q. You managed to shut out the occasion?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I think I did. I mean, I felt okay. I didn't feel great after the 40 Love to deuce. Then I started to feel nervous and started thinking about what just happened. Very rarely will you get broken from 40 Love up on grass and when you're serving for Wimbledon.
There's a lot of things you're thinking of at that moment, but at the change of ends I was okay.
Q. You've had an incredible progression in your career. Could you talk about what has been the key to your growth and success?
ANDY MURRAY: I think I persevered. That's really been it, the story of my career probably. I had, yeah, a lot of tough losses, but the one thing I would say is I think every year I always improved a little bit. They weren't major improvements, massive changes, but every year my ranking was going in the right direction.
I was always going a little bit further in the slams. I kept learning and I just kept working as hard as I could. When I lost those matches sometimes I dealt with them badly, but I think the last few losses that I've had in slam finals I've dealt with them a lot better.
That's kind of been it.
Q. Now that you've had the release of the win, can you speak a little bit about what it's like to be the standard bearer of British tennis at Wimbledon and how you've endured it through all these years, how difficult it is?
ANDY MURRAY: It's hard. It's really hard. You know, for the last four or five years, it's been very, very tough, very stressful, a lot of pressure. The few days before the tournament, really difficult, as well.
Yeah, I mean, the last two days are not easy. Because it's just kind of everywhere you go. It's so hard to avoid everything because of how big this event is, but also because of the history and no Brit having won. It's been very, very difficult.
I think I felt a little bit better this year than I did last year. But it's not easy. I think now it will become easier. I hope it will. I hope it will.
Q. Were you surprised how much Novak dropshoted you today?
ANDY MURRAY: No. He started doing it a lot in the third set. He didn't do it that much I didn't think the first couple of sets. It was working and he was hitting them well, and that was probably why he continued to do it.
You know, I don't know how tired he was, if he was tired. But it's a way of shortening points. And when you hit them as well as that your opponent's running and you're just standing there really, so it worked well for him.
Q. Back to Ivan. At the end of the match when you went up to the player box, I think Ivan was the first person you went to. As you were going up there, were you thinking he was the one person you want to congratulate, to share it with first, or were you thinking should I go to Kim, your mother?
ANDY MURRAY: For me it's not like that. I mean, all of them, all of the guys that are up there, have played, yeah, different roles and different parts in my career.
I've said it was nice to win because Ivan having not won here. I know, yeah, he would have loved to have won here. But, like I said, it's the next best thing.
The other guys have been with me for the last five, six years, as well, and have been very patient and have worked very hard with me and have gone through a lot of losses or whatever.
There was no thought in my head, I'm going to go to Ivan, Kim, or one of the fitness trainers.
Q. Nobody has ever heard noise like that at Wimbledon before. Did that surprise you? Was it like the Olympics? Is that an indication of how people warm to you? Do you think it will change things in your life?
ANDY MURRAY: Look, I don't know. I don't know how it will change my life. I hope not. I hope not too much.
But, yeah, I mean, the atmosphere today was different to what I've experienced in the past. It was different to last year's final, for sure. And then, yeah, the end of the match, that was incredibly loud, very noisy.
I've been saying it all week, but it does make a difference. It really helps when the crowd's like that, the atmosphere is like that. Especially in a match as tough as that one where it's extremely hot, brutal, long rallies, tough games, they help you get through it.
Q. Was it more like the Olympic feeling than a normal Wimbledon?
ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, I think it felt a bit different today. I mean, it was the best atmosphere I played in here. That makes a difference.
Q. I think you had a couple of glasses of champagne after the US Open. Are you going to have a few more glasses tonight? How are you going to celebrate?
ANDY MURRAY: We have to go to the ball, so I'll be doing that. Then I don't even know what the time is just now, but, I mean, I'll finish doing all of these things. We have drug tests to do.
Yeah, have fun with the team.
Q. What would you tell Fred Perry if he was alive now and will you start wearing his shirts?
ANDY MURRAY: Look, I don't know. I mean, he's someone that I've obviously never met, but is quite relevant in my career really. He's someone that, you know, I've spoken to a lot of people about. I've met various people from his family and obviously used to wear his gear.
Yeah, it's a weird one. It's a name that, yeah, I've heard so much over the course of my career. It's a shame that I never got to meet him.
Q. I doubt that you knew Fred Perry, but I knew Fred, and every year I'd come to cover Wimbledon and I'd say, Is this the year? He'd say, I don't think so. It went on like that for several years, and finally Fred couldn't make it anymore. So he said, I won't make it, and you don't look too well yourself. Anyway, he kept hoping this day would happen. I'm glad to report that it did happen.
ANDY MURRAY: Thank you.
Q. During this cycle, where was the point you felt the most negativity and doubt? Do you feel vindicated? Did you always feel this was going to happen, this day?
ANDY MURRAY: No, I didn't always feel it was going to happen. It's incredibly difficult to win these events. I don't think that's that well understood sometimes. It takes so much hard work, mental toughness, yeah, to win these sort of tournaments.
I didn't always think it was going to happen. I didn't doubt myself so much after last year's final. It was the best I'd recovered from a Grand Slam loss. I mean, maybe a couple years ago when I lost in the semis to Rafa. I was up a set, maybe a break as well, or had breakpoints, and didn't get that. That was a tough, tough one for me.
Q. Now that you've achieved your long term goal, have you had any thoughts about perhaps settling down, having a family, popping the question to Kim?
ANDY MURRAY: No, I haven't thought about that yet.
Q. Tough question to follow. You were asked about being the standard bearer of tennis in British tennis. Do you worry that in 77 years the top British player is going to be asked what Andy Murray would say to him or what he would say to Andy Murray?
ANDY MURRAY: You never know, but I would hope that it wouldn't be that long again.
Like, again, it was an incredibly difficult tournament to win, so it's possible that it could take a long time.
But, yeah, I think with the amount of sort of money that's invested in the sport in this country, then it shouldn't take another 70 odd years.
Q. What do you tell Miss Bartoli at the ball tonight about the Franco Scottish alliance at Wimbledon?
ANDY MURRAY: It will be nice. She's a very, very nice girl. I've spent little bits of time with her over the last few years. You know, she works extremely hard. You know, a lot of people kind of questioned her sort of methods, the ways that she plays.
I was really, really happy for her that she managed to win yesterday. I'm sure she'll be good fun tonight. She's a funny girl.

Tennis Space (http://www.thetennisspace.com/diary-which-mcenroe-swears-the-most/)- Wimbledon diary - Which McEnroe brother swears the most?
Talking of swearing, the BBC were quick to apologise when Andy Murray let rip a swear word around about tea-time in front of, potentially, millions of young viewers. (the figures peaked at 10.4 million for his match against Verdasco, by the way). It’s not an uncommon occurrence and Ladbrokes make it even money that Murray will force them into another apology by swearing live on air during Friday’s semi-final against Jerzy Janowicz. It’s just 2-1 that Murray gets a caution from the umpire for swearing in that match.

It's written by the comedian Mark Steel who may not be popular with everyone but for me he totally gets who Andy is.
Seriously I cant tell you how I feel reading this article..Im so terrible at putting it into words why I love Andy so much and people make me feel like a crazy maniac for having him as a hero but..this is just it....Im going to print this and keep it forever! plus its hilarious!!

Wow, poor Andy. After the day he'd had an over zealous fan was the last thing he needed.
Do hope he and Kim can get some peace and quiet now. Much as I would like the celebrations to go on and on I'm sure he needs some time to rest up and take it all in. The public part of being a 'star' is not what Andy relished but he was so good, polite, accomodating and patient - even when people ask intrusive questions about getting married.

Tom Tebbutt's attitude to Andy seems to have changed since he won the US Open. I thought he was one of the more fair commentators who was enthusiastic about Andy and I liked reading his articles but now there's always a cynical tone about his writing. I notice he's very supportive of Milos Raonic who by his standards is having a disappointing season and fair play to Tebbutt for being understanding but does it compromise his position as a tennis writer. Is Milos receiving any criticism from other writers in Canada?
Thanks cazza for collating all the articles, this is a great one-stop-shop for all Andy news.

Andy Murray has revealed the secret to his straight sets victory over Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final was a late night screening of last summer’s brilliant defeat of the Serbian en route to Olympic gold.

Murray said it refreshed his mind to the tactics required against Djokovic and provided a vital mental boost.

It's been 77 years since the previous British man won Wimbledon. In that time, 39 men from 12 countries have taken home the title. On Sunday, it took 3 hours and 10 minutes in sweltering temperatures, but Murray finally put an end to the drought with a straight-set win over Novak Djokovic. It was Murray's 18th consecutive win on grass.

:lol: I just read this in The Telegraph by Clive James (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10171222/The-Beebs-tennis-Brits-made-Wimbledon-a-misery.html)talking about the BBC commies:
The fortnight’s tennis ended in glory when Andy Murray won the title, but for anybody watching the whole thing – a television critic, for example – the Beeb’s platoon of home-grown commentators had made life a misery until then. It can be tough taking verbatim notes when some shambling factotum is asking a bright tennis player one unanswerable question after another.
In real life, the great champion Ivan Lendl is nowadays Andy Murray’s coach, but in his nightmares he is being interviewed for the BBC. Lendl was asked: “How significant is your role?” He might possibly have answered: “Not significant at all, really. I’m just here for the strawberries.” Luckily he found a polite answer.
He found another polite answer, but God knows how, when he was asked: “Will you celebrate with him if he wins?” Lendl might possibly have answered: “No, I’ll throw myself off a cliff.” Judging from his facial expression, it would have been a convincing response.
On top of the almost entirely superfluous and embarrassing interviews, some of the commentating while play was in progress was pretty weird. During the best match in the men’s competition, the semi-final between del Potro and Djokovic, there was a slow-motion shot of del Potro’s face looking passionate. In full Mickey Mouse mode, the commentator said: “Look at the passion on his face.”
It hardly needs saying that the raver responsible for this otiose utterance was not Boris Becker, who confined himself to pertinent remarks at all times. Britain’s very own Tim Henman, however, did his best to draw Boris into the dreamy madness. “You were lucky,” said Tim. “You won your first one.” But Boris was ready: “What do you mean, lucky?” It was a moment of sanity that could be cherished as the director cut to yet another shot of Henman Hill, a geographical feature which Sue Barker likes to mention several times whatever the context.
A short collection of long rallies, the final match generated only the occasional bout of mania in the commentary box, but after Murray had won there was some vintage stuff from Sue, she having been tasked as usual with conducting the supposedly indispensable post-match interview. “How,” she asked Andy, “does it feel to be holding that trophy?”
Murray might have said that it felt better than having to answer the fiftieth dumb question of the fortnight, but he didn’t. He even managed to stay calm when Sue asked him whether the fans on Henman Hill had been a help. This question aroused, in the viewer’s mind, the intriguing possibility that Murray, playing on Centre Court, had been contacted telepathically by people he couldn’t see. Perhaps, however, he could hear them in the distance, all yelling his name as we were at home.
Murray in victory comported himself well, meeting the standard set by Djokovic, who was so gracious in defeat. At this rate Murray will make a worthy national champion. Such an idol is a good thing to have, as millions of Australian viewers must have reflected when the camera dwelt on Rod Laver, who was among the spectators. If it had not been for the artificial division between amateurs and professionals, Laver would have won the Wimbledon title 10 times instead of merely four. Nowadays the Aussies are on short rations. But perhaps deprivation builds character.

Scotsman - Hebridean tennis court ‘prefers Federer to Murray’
:rolleyes:Perhaps Federer can go there now and stay there with that blinkered man. Why are most Federer fans so insular? They just don't give any credence to other top players. Soon they can spend all their time remembering their idol, while we can continue watching our man going from strength and winning more and more titles.
I think the man from Harris - not a Harrris man I might add - has a huge chip on his shoulder. His comment that over the last few years he has coached several youngsters that could 'have been as good as Murray' is absurd. Kids with talent like Andy or Fed or Djoko don't come along every other day!

Murray says, for instance, he will walk away from the quick-format, end-of-year league proposed by one of his new business advisers, the Indian doubles player Mahesh Bhupathi, if it threatens to interfere with his winter training block in Miami. "What I agreed to is playing three nights in one place," he says. "So I'm not travelling across the whole of Asia in the space of a week. A lot of others play loads of exhibitions in December. I've never really done that. But, if I could be in one place for a week and take my guys there and train properly, it could work well. If I tried it and I didn't think it was working, I'm not going back. That's the reality. My training blocks are really important and I won't let anything get in the way of that.

Didn't help that his official website have a background image indicative of a tropical island. Bit of a giveaway really considering Andy has previously gone to the Bahamas before going on to his flat/training base in Miami.
:p
Perhaps a deal was struck with the papps by his management? Have a few shots now and then leave them in peace? It's something a lot of stars do ... and something Andy will increasingly have to manage because he's right up there in superstardom!

Love the quote from the Independent article:
"On top of that, at match point you couldn’t be sure the referee wouldn’t declare the roof had to be shut, which would take so long they’d call it a draw."
Loved that article :) also the links to all the live broadcasts! It would be great to know the true total of people who watched the match. We were in a pub in Bavaria and there were about 20 people, about 4 of us punching the air! Never thought I would get to see it at all so was a bonus!

I dont know whether it was just because at my all girls school in Kent in the mid 1960s we had a Scottish headmistress (Dr Stephenson, aka Doco-she always wore a floor length flared plaid skirt)
but we had Scottish Country dancing several times a week (must admit i actually enjoyed it!) Did anyone else have SCD on their curriculum or was it just because of Doco ?:)
Yes, we did too, at my all-girls' school. Maybe the fact that we are not very far from the Scottish Border had something to do with it. The only Scottish teacher we had was a rather crabby old science teacher who had nothing to do with dancing!

Me too - all-girls school Newcastle-upon-Tyne! Again not far from Scottish border...

Yes - went to primary school in Blyth Northumberland and we did Scottish dancing and we used to dance at fetes complete with the white dresses and sashes and the boys in kilts. Loved it.

We did Scottish country dancing at my junior school (I'm from Gateshead originally). To be honest I kinda hated it coz I would never get a decent male partner. I always got this horrible little boy called Edward who picked his nose all the time. Gross.
:rolling: Roastie , he probably turned out to be a real hunk :rolling:

Perhaps my school in Kent (quite far from the Scottish Border! Almost as far as you can get in the UK!)did Scottish Country Dancing then because of our Scottish Headmistress:)

We used to do scottish country dancing for a few weeks in our PE lessons in secondary school and I used to get my dad to write me a note to get out of it as I was not dancing with those horrible boys!!! :rolling:

The value of Murray memorabilia has soared since the Scot sealed his historic SW19 win earlier this month.
Expert Adrian Roose said: “If match-worn, it’s worth several thousand pounds.”

I wonder how much my daughter's 20th b-day Highland Springs water bottle would sell for?
Don't think I posted this.

Wow! That is crazy surely! Sad that it got nicked :( Match-worn from just the GS and Olympics runs? Or previous matches of old? Keepsake forever though no?

Lol! It's crazy right? We have been privileged to have some great competitions in the past!
