“This is his day today,” Murray said. “What he’s achieved the last 12 months in phenomenal. Winning all four of the Grand Slams in one year is an amazing achievement.”
Then Murray carefully took a moment to explain to the crowd what the had just witnessed, in case they had not taken the time to fully comprehend the gravity of the moment.
“This is something that is so rare in tennis,” he said. “It’s not happened for an extremely long time and it’s going to take a long time for it to happen again. Everyone here who came to watch is obviously extremely lucky to see it. Me personally being on the opposite side it sucks to lose the match, but I’m proud to have been a part of today.”
