Brit to win Wimbledon

31 years on from Virginia Wades’ last British success at Wimbledon are British Tennis fans finally going to see an end to the foreign grip over the prestigious trophy.

This is the target for Scotsman Andy Murray who said he was citing a possible major triumph this year after claiming the fifth tournament victory of his career at the Open 13. He told Sky Sports:


"For me winning Grand Slams is more important than being number one, players are judged on how many they win - that's how good their career is.”

I’m not sure weather the cocky Scotsman will be able to deliver the Wimbledon trophy to the British public this year, having already dropped out of the Australian Open due to injury something which has dogged his short career. Also at the tender age of 20 he might still be too inexperienced to win the title that on so many occasions eluded Tim Henman.

However this does not mean he cannot win the trophy. He has already shown more promise in his short time on the professional scene, than most British tennis players do in their careers.

All this being said I’ll be routing for the Scotsman to make it a good summer for British Tennis.
