…and the Best!

We may be soon calling him ‘Sir.’ The British Prime Minister has called for Andy Murray being knighted by the Queen as an acknowledgement of Murray becoming Britain’s first male Wimbledon champion in the Open Era.

Knighthood would be the highest honour bestowed upon Murray, who has already been conferred with an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in the past. It would be a rank truly befitting a champion, who finally got there in the end.

He took his time

Starting out slow

Making the world wait

Match after match…

To behold,

Excruciating agony

Closer always,

But never too close

The chasm always yawning…

A transition unfolded then

Making the world pause

With bated breath

Time stood still

In that one victory

Past left far behind,

Present glittering and glorified

Future, his alone to conquer

Nought to weigh him down

Rising to ascendency

The Scot’s creating history…
