"I think that was almost a smile."

Tbh, this man is an unsung hero.

Wonder if Andy Murray will become an authentic British clothing manufacturer like Fred Perry in 70 odd years!

I think someone in his box shouted at him to put on the watch, I don't think it was foremost in Andy's mind tbh.

It certainly was on his mind. He went over to his box to get the watch and then Kim shouted it was in his black bag...

Don't understand why people are making such a fuss out of it. He gets paid to do this, who cares? Definitely not front page spread news.

Let's edit the title to "knighted", please.

SOOO happy Lovely article on it here:

Particularly love this from Andy "As for where this historic victory leaves him, as a person and a player, Murray said, "I hope it doesn't change me as a person. That would be a bad thing. On the court, hopefully if I get into situations like this in the future I won't be having all the doubts that I was having before the match today.

"[But] I'm still going to have all the same friends and family and stay in the same house and train in the same places. There may be a few more busy press conferences and a few more demands on my time, but that's part of the job and that's worth it."
As for his legacy, he said "I'm very happy to be part of this era in tennis. I think everyone here would agree it's one of the best ever. Playing against [Nadal, Federer and Djokovic] has made me improve so much. I always said that maybe if I played another era I would have won more, but I wouldn't have been as good a tennis player."

That just deserves applause.

Brilliant

Watched the last 20 minutes a few more times to make it sink in... need to calm down, like. 

And whilst you're at it try and get a gif of Kim jumping up and down just before the presentation as they announce Andy as the champion. About 6hrs 12 minutes in. Please.

Or TG can do it, she seems to specialise in gifs.

Just someone get it up! 

Aye, you sure there's nothing else?  Get tae f**k!  

Perhaps someone on Tumblr will make one.

This seems to be the new celebratory fashion.

Awwwwww hiya Tally and Annie!  Miss you girls, best night ever, enjoy it


P.S. How is Raffa?

On it, sir.

We need a video/gif thread to celebrate the occasion.

...am I getting too carried away?

No but no need to pretend you have a good music taste.  Cheese is acceptable for such occasions.
