A Special Moment in Time

Andy Murray's Wimbledon victory was historic,ending a 77 year wait for a British man to win what is arguably the most special Championship in world Tennis. My heart was in my mouth throughout the riveting match. It was certainly a joy to watch history being made.

The Championship point was so close yet so far. At some points in the game,it felt was never going to come sooner. Andy had already taken the previous two sets 6-4,7-5 against the reigning number one Djokovic. 

In the prelude to the championship point,Djokovic had recovered from 0-40 deficit to tie or deuce the game. That certainly sent shivers down the anxious fans watching near London's Tower Bridge and Dunblane. Echoes of Djokovic's spectacular victory over Federer when he came from two sets down was lurking at their minds. 

With the entire nation behind him, Andy Murray found the extra will to turnaround the second set and finally get the championship point. It was clearly well deserved after the heart break of losing in last year's final to eventual winner Roger Federer. After that tournament, first runners-up had prophetically claimed that he was getting closer to his rivals. And right he was, with the Olympic Gold and U.S Open championship to prove it.

He can now claim to having won the championship that has eluded even some of the greatest players including his coach Ivan Lendl. 

I guess congratulations are in order.
