Andy Murray!

After 77 years with no British Wimbledon champion, Andy Murray has finally made it all the way. We have a British Wimbledon champion again at long last!

Andy Murray and the cup

The entire country will be celebrating! I pointed my camera at the TV so you can all see what you've probably already seen on the news - a picture of Andy holding the champion's cup.

Perhaps the longer a person (or a nation) struggles to win something, the more significant it seems when success is finally achieved.

Andy Murray is not English, he's a Scot. The entire UK will celebrate wildly, and his win is richly deserved. I hope he will savour it and go on to win again and again.

Andy Murray has done it! Ivan Lendl has clearly been an excellent coach, but it was all down to Andy on the day and he didn't falter.

A great day in British tennis history!

But I also wonder how much longer it might be before that cup rests in English hands? Tim Henman tried hard, but didn't quite get there. Are there promising young English players coming along? If so, do they include some who might stand a real chance of emulating Andy Murray and doing for England what he has done so magnificently today for Scotland?
