That I could not even bet.}} <\/p>\n<p>I express regret but I had kept time trying to watch APR and Rayon receiving a slap from Cecafa club play-offs. If I sound a little out-dated, I beg for your lenience. <\/p>\n<p>But as always, I \u2018ve kept an eye to see if dancing can ever be part of tennis\u2019s top a gender on any court; But as usual it\u2019s not, save for falling on your knees; especially during any Wimbledon center stage game. <\/p>\n<p>Holding the trophy by Andy Murray is what the World in particular was waiting to see. For the Brit\u2019s, I guess,  the party must be still on-going; now that Andy Murray is the new 2013 Wimbledon after yanking world No. 1 Novak Djokovic (Serb) in  a 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 straight sets, at this year\u2019s final event.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always considered tennis to be a second class middle sport.  But on  any bowering Sunday, I couldn\u2019t hesitate to clad my legs on the couch to catch a glimpse when the Scot was sweating heat as he turned the hazy context of British sporting history after 77 years.<\/p>\n<p>It was an eye-blink for all, since it took Andy Murray long to win any grand slam except for the Gold he won in the Olympic Games. If I\u2019m to say, Britain took long to produce a worthy heir.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the 26 year old, will inspire all sections of fans in the UK and the World, given the fact that, the two horse race kept most of us breathing hard-absolutely; it must have been on the age of every fans sit. <\/p>\n<p>Novak is tuff, strong and competitive, he is such a good defender given the past performances. If Andy Murray had lost the game, it would have been another big disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>The game was pure excitement for all, since history took centre stage for that moment. This should be the start of British perspective in tennis -World. <\/p>\n<p>After finally reaching the final last in 2012, Murray wept upon losing to Roger Federer, the Swiss grass master whose game is perfectly tailored with quickness, agility and a clever array of strokes. <\/p>\n<p>Rafael Nadal beat Murray in 2008, 2010 and 201, still he\u2019s considered to be king of Clay after winning the eighth French Open title record.<\/p>\n<p>I think you all say this year\u2019s tennis greatest players like Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Victoria Azarenka suffer shock defeats. Indeed it wasn\u2019t expected; \u201cit was shock of all shocks\u201d that is how a friend described the fourth round defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, given the noisy nature of the 2013 edition of Wimbledon, such defeats were viewed as yet the emergence of the new stars on the tennis court. Without doubt, she made it, in the women\u2019s\u2019 category, a stunning French star; Miss Bartoli, at age 28. <\/p>\n<p>After all, its only women&#8217;s tennis, like what I love to call \u201ca second class sport\u201d, if the game is so uninteresting, being played by women, why not discuss the more important matters?   <\/p>\n<p>Watching Sunday&#8217;s final score, you might have thought, it was boring, after lasting more than three hours, there were plenty of tense moments during the three straight set.<\/p>\n<p>I guess right now Murray should not sit and think about having the trophy in the bag, what he needs, is to take a seat, celebrate and start focusing on defending his US Open title. <\/p>\n<p>For me right now, Andy Murray is my next future tennis outlook after ending the British draught in 77years at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{{I Have been slightly out of touch with tennis, since Serena William\u2019s lost to Sabine Lisicki in the Wimbledon 4th Round &#8230; in fact I was elsewhere.
