JUDY MURRAY saluted her son Andy after he ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s singles champion at Wimbledon.

Murray beat Novak Djokovic 6-4 7-5 6-4 on Centre Court and then went up to his box in the stands to hug his mother, who was immensely proud of her son’s achievements.

She said: “It’s the best feeling ever to see your son win Wimbledon.

“This is what he has talked about winning since he was a little boy, it was a dream that has become a reality now for him.’’ Murray admitted she found it hard to watch her son’s triumph.

“I have been shaking for the last three hours,’’ she added.

“I am fine now but 15 minutes ago (just before Murray won) I was an emotional wreck.

“I can’t remember exactly what happened. I know he was 40-0 up in the last game and then it went to deuce, but he gutsed it out.

“There were some outrageous points in the final game. They had been out there for three hours and it was so hot, but he was so determined to win it.

‘‘He has been strong and composed all week, but Novak is such a tough competitor so to bury him you have to play unbelievably. You have to play your A game to win and Andy brought a pretty decent game today.’’ Fred Perry’s son congratulated Andy Murray last night after the Scot ended a 77-year wait for a British winner of the Wimbledon men’s singles title.

David Perry, now 69, was adopted in 1953 by the English tennis icon. He was Fred’s fourth wife Bobby’s son and later ran the family’s famous sportswear business before moving into real esta “It’s great for British tennis.

Andy has worked his way up there. He deserves it. It’s wonderful that he has won it and that he has played the way that he has,” said Mr Perry.
