As far as Murray's career is concerned, this is the biggest and best moment - winning Wimbledon.

There was tremendous pressure on his shoulders for years before his Wimbledon triumph. Fellow British tennis players Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski had failed to achieve glory at home, so the expectations from the Scot were at an all-time high.

Murray had to prove he would be Britain's best tennis player since Fred Perry's playing days back in the 1930s.

The 2013 final would take place 12 months after the emotional defeat to Roger Federer. But with the Wimbledon runner-up experience and sealing a Grand Slam under his belt, Murray's chances were high despite a formidable Novak Djokovic being on the opposite side of the net.

This match defined Wimbledon as Murray's home. Months after winning Olympic gold on the same turf, he defeated Djokovic in straight sets.

Centre Court was bouncing with joy - a British male tennis player had finally won Wimbledon after 77 years.
