Tearful Murray vows to end his Grand Slam famine
Emotions run high as Andy loses out to Federer at Wimbledon

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.
