Andy Murry first British champion of Wimbledon in 77 years

Watching Murray play Wimbledon today has been an incredible highlight. He has strived and strived, again and again, come close and lost, gone through emotional and psychological turmoil and now eventually done it. He is the mark of perseverance, someone who has proven if you want something bad enough you'll do anything to get it.

Yet the whole, background of both Murray and Djokovic, in Wimbledon is an ironic setting in which both Andy Murray and Novac Djokovic fought their battle. Wimbledon is set in a wealthy suburb of west London. You'll not find many proletariat persons with properties there.  Djokovic came from a war torn Yugoslavia and was advised not to live there any more for fear of his life, his own country is now adopted Canada.  He left Yugoslavia when he was 12 years old, prior to this he would of witnessed or been part of the turmoil of civil war his country went through. Djokovic is a fighter, he is as tough as they come and everyone knows this. In a similar vein Murry attended a school in Dumblaine at the time a crazed gunman decided to shoot pupils.  Andy was 8 years old at this time. Murray is often referred to by Scots people as dour. Considering what he has been through in his early years of life he can be anything he wants to be.  Whether dour, depressive, dead pan or cantankerous he has a personal right not to give a shit.

There is a joke associated with Murry which is in some way cruel. It is, when he loses the press call him Scottish and when he wins he is called British. Whatever Murray chooses to be, there is no doubt he is a champion. A man who at times had the entire expectations of a nation on his shoulders to succeed. This to is a cruel thing to have, why should a nation act in such a way? Probably it's an inferiority complex, but what Murray has done is conquer even this. He is first Scottish, second British and now an historical figure in Tennis. First male champion for 77 years, his name will be inscribed in every sports alamac for a pretty long time. And we're proud because as a country it is tough to live here and come up from nothing, especially for the proletariat.
