SIR ANDY MURRAY.

It isn't yet but I wouldn't be surprised if he was asked to receive a knighthood shortly. I've little time for such things, but if ever a man deserved recognition of this kind it is Andy Murray, although it would be better left until he has finished playing.

Today, with all the almighty pressure of expectation heaped upon him he has performed a staggering feat, outplaying the Number One player in the world in Novak Jokovic. He has won in straight sets to bring delight to the whole nation, and I imagine many outside it.

But there is more to it than that. Murray could have become a very rich man just hanging around the top sixteen in world tennis. His talent would have seen to that. That and the fact that there are no other British players any where near being in the frame. But Murray has slogged himself stupid to get himself fitter and better, and has kept going after losing several finals. He deserves all that his coming to him, he has earned it all.

WELL DONE ANDY!!
