SPECIAL TIME FOR ANDY MURRAY FAMILY: “He has so much success and then, why wouldn’t you want to do it in front

This year marks 10 years since Murray scaled his players’ box in celebration having beaten Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win his first Wimbledon title.

The victory in front of a jubilant Centre Court crowd marked the first time a British man had won the Grand Slam since 1936.

Murray went on to repeat the feat following his victory over Milos Raonic in 2016, but a hip injury almost forced him into retirement in 2019.

Successful surgery saw him return to action and while he has yet to his the heights of years gone by, the 36-year-old comes into the tournament emboldened by recent challenger event wins in Surbiton and Nottingham.

Mats Wilander believes Murray has every reason to be confident on his latest Wimbledon return.

“Well, it’s unbelievably special obviously for anyone,” he said. “Being part of it and watching, for the fans and for us in the media, but for Andy himself, I think this is why he keeps playing tennis and one of the main reasons to be able to go back to Wimbledon.
