Try to imagine what it must be
like to be told roughly since 11 that you are the one, you are the saviour, and
you are going to be our tennis hero.
Andy Murray has been told this constantly most of his life, and like
many hero characters from fiction he has been told he is the one to change
history.
Yet to begin with it didn’t
happen, the great British hope didn’t live up to expectations, like all great
stories from literature, it wasn’t easy to live with the hopes of a nation, it
took time. Until Monday 10th
September 2012, 76 years since Fred Perry’s last win. Finally Andy Murray did what all of Britain
has wanted for so long and won a Major championship.
In what was an incredibly tense
match to watch, especially if you are British; Andy faced up to his demons and
beat them back. He faced up to his nemesis
- history itself, and finally defeated and changed it.
It has been a fantastic summer
for British sport, one that will go down in history as one of our greatest
ever. Let’s hope it is the springboard for more achievement, more success and
more Grand Slams for Andy Murray.
Well done Andy Murray you deserve it.
