Sorry for the hiatus, everyone! We were busy with work and school, and didn't have much time to be able to write about all of the crazy sports going on lately. But fear not, we are back, and should hopefully be able to pump out at least 1 post per day. Starting... now!
By now, everyone has known about Andy Murray and him being the best chance for a British man to win Wimbledon for the first time in a million years. He was considered the next great hope after Fred Perry won the last one for the Brits.
Well now, we can finally confirm that he your new Wimbledon champion, and has lifted the Wimbledon monkey off of the United Kingdom's back. He has ended their drought by defeating world No.1 Novak Djokovic by a score of 6-4, 7-5, 6-4. And although the score shows a straight sets victory for Andy, it wasn't that at all. This match could have easily gone 5 sets, and in my opinion, should have gone 5 sets. Andy just happened to raise his game at the right time a little better than Novak did.
It was nothing short of a battle, however. It took Murray 4 championship points just to close out Djokovic. And as hard as Novak fought, he just wasn't good enough today.
So after Andy's most coveted win, he now has his 2nd major title. In 2013, Djokovic has 1 (Australian Open), Rafa Nadal has 1 (French Open), and now Andy has 1 (Wimbledon). Only the U.S. Open is left. Does this mean it's Federer's time? The big 4 all won a major last year. I could see it happening again this year.
Congratulations, Andy! Enjoy the title.
