Congratulations to Andy Murray! He beat Federer in 3 straight sets.
So does this officially break the 76 years without a British win at Wimbledon?

And no, it does not break the drought.

(34,108 posts)but something has happened to Murray this last few weeks. He was on fire, he has found something that has pushed him up over the hump.
Sad for Fed. Friday had to be a factor.

(32,058 posts)that was a tough match to come back after and Roger is not 23 anymore ... the slams are more important but I'm glad too that Andy finally won something.

(29,658 posts)just couldn't muster the match today. It almost looked like he wasn't trying......but I'm sure that marathon just took it all out of him. Glad for Andy though.
