The tennis star rounds off a landmark year in which he won a second Wimbledon title, retained Olympic gold and finished the year as world number one. Also honoured are Scottish rower Katherine Grainger, who becomes a dame, and wheelchair tennis player Gordon Reid, who receives an MBE. Murray, who is a Unicef UK ambassador, receives his knighthood for services to tennis and charity. He also became a father in February and was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year for an unprecedented third time. The honour comes after Murray claimed he was too young for a knighthoodfollowing speculation he would be given the title earlier in the year.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Does this mean Andy has now reached the same level as his namesake David? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well documented you're stupid, majority of posts confirm that but to give you some credit he has been playing very poor THIS season. How he got to world number 1 was because he was the best in the world throughout last year. Run along, you must have goldfish to speak to.

cambiebud Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Always good to see a Scot being top of the world in any sport. Still wish he'd told them to shove the knighthood though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Murray through to play Del Potro on Saturday. Not vintage Murray TBH, sporadic signs of form but not consistent enough to win the tournament on this form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I think he is struggling with the Number 1 ranking. I remember McEnroe talking about how everything changed when he got there. Especially when Borg quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that the British Press are a bit OTT, the guy worked his socks off, he is a true winner and tossers that sell print don't know what that takes... Anyway Round 3 here we come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's quite common, the physical and mental effort to get there can result in a drop in mental strength, resulting in a slight loss in form and, as with Murray, injuries and illness add to the pressure. Very fine margins with the guys at the top. A stern test, especially with Wimbledon looming up pretty soon. Every game/victory should slowly get him back to the form required to mix it with the big boys but he still has quite a way to go IMO.
