ANDY MURRAY has revealed he did not want to go to sleep after winning his first Wimbledon men’s singles title as he feared he would wake up and it would all be a dream.

Murray became the first British man to lift the trophy since Fred Perry won the last of three titles at the All England club 77 years ago when he saw off Novak Djokovic in a 6-4 7- 5 6-4 victory obn Sunday.

The 26-year-old, who also beat Djokovic to the US Open title last year and defeated Roger Federer to claim Olympic gold after losing to the Swiss in the Wimbledon final 12 months ago, believes it will take some time for his latest achievement to sink in.

‘‘No-one could really believe it and I was the same,’’ Murray said. ‘‘You don’t want to go to sleep in case you wake up and it didn’t actually happen. I was just messaging my friends and laying in bed.

It was tough to get to sleep last night.

‘‘I know I won Wimbledon yesterday but what it actually means – I think that will take longer than 24 hours to sink in and understand it.’
