Tearful Murray vows to end his Grand Slam famine

Emotions run high as Andy loses out to Federer at Wimbledon

Published: 09/07/2012

SCOTLAND’S Andy Murray broke down in tears following his Wimbledon heartache but vowed to bounce back and win a major.

Murray fell just short of becoming the first British man to claim the Wimbledon men’s singles title for 76 years as he lost out 3-1 to Roger Federer.

The 25-year-old made the perfect start by taking the first set.

But the Swiss star turned things around and ran out a 4-6 7-5 6-2 6-4 winner to collect his seventh Wimbledon crown, 17th grand slam title and ensure he returned to World No1 today – a month before his 31st birthday.

Murray has lost all four of his Grand Slam finals and was devastated, breaking down in tears a number of times during his on-court interview.
