LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 10:  Andy Murray of Great Britain lifts the trophy following victory in the Men's Singles Final against Milos Raonic of Canada on day thirteen of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 10, 2016 in London, England.

Murray won his second Wimbledon title and third Grand Slam this year

Andy was in supreme form coming into Wimbledon, having won a record 5th Queen’s Club Championship (a traditional warm-up event prior to the extravaganza at SW19). Moreover, he had secured the services of Ivan Lendl, the mercurial Czech.

After cruising through the first four rounds, which also included a win over the controversial yet talented Nick Kyrgios, Murray ran into an in-form Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. But the Scot displayed commendable willpower to overcome the Frenchman in 5 sets before easing past Tomas Berdych into the final.

Though Djokovic, who was upset by Sam Querrey in a two-day five setter, did not make the summit clash, Murray still had to power past Milos Raonic who had defeated Roger Federer in the semifinals. He did that with aplomb to land his 2nd Wimbledon title in style.

Not a mean feat, especially with so much pressure placed upon him, under the expectations of Britons worldwide.
