Oh I’m all in pieces. You beauty, Andy. I don’t mind if you aren’t the most cheerful person in tennis. If that’s what it takes go and win!

Watching with tears in my eyes as Andy Murray reaches the WIMBLEDON final! So pleased for him, a fantastic effort! What drama at the end!

Murray in the singles, Marray in the doubles. Getting rather bored now with Britain's dominance in tennis.

I’d like to thank Andy Murray for deliberately dropping the 3rd set, thereby enabling me to get home in time to see the end. Thanks mate.

Well done Andy Murray! Let's hope he can do in this Jubilee year what Virginia Wade did when she won in 1977 during the Silver Jubilee!
