Don't you think this guy deserves the respect of British citizens? I sure think he does!!
This is perseverance;
- Perseverance is doing what a lot of people don't like but believing when you succeed they will like it
- Perseverance is being the first to go through the fire
- Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.
- Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
- Perseverance is trying again and again.
- Give up your tv time to spend hours studying/practicing what you like
- Try a new sport that is very difficult but you don't give up

- Have missed a week of school but you work hard to catch up
- Are at the end of a difficult race but you cross the finish line
- Save money and make sacrifices to buy something
- Spend hours practicing on your music
- Study and work hard to raise your grade
- Try out for something you weren't successful at the first time
77yrs was enough for Britain to give up contesting for the Wimbledon games, but nay 'they kept on training and participating', so should I and you.
The saying ''no gain without pain'' is truly expressed in this success story.
The most painful wait in sport is over. Andy Murray won Wimbledon for himself first and Britain second, but there was no mistaking the relief that swept the country as a 77-year hoodoo was lifted on a joyous summer day.The disappointments and frustrations of Britain in Wimbledon could not be compared to a man's productive time on earth, 77yrs!!! but only one man took it away for a nation in a day.
Great Britain’s Great Hope, Andy Murray is looking to break the 77 year old drought for a British man to take tome tennis’s most prestigious title (Fred Perry 1936).
Murray was here last year and lost to Roger Federer in a match that showed that Murray simply wasn’t truly ready for the moment yet.
He showed he was ready for it just a short month later as he won the Olympic gold in front of some of the most raucous and passionate crowds Wimbledon had ever seen at the London Olympics.
“For the last four or five years, it’s been very, very tough, very stressful, a lot of pressure,” he said. “The few days before the tournament are really difficult. “It’s just kind of everywhere you go. It’s so hard to avoid everything because of how big this event is, but also because of the history and no Brit having won. I think I felt a little bit better this year than I did last year.
But it’s not easy. I think now it will become easier. I hope it will. I hope it will. In a dramatic final game, Murray dropped three Championship points but recovered to beat the more illustrious Djokovic, who was born seven days before him.
The new champion paid tribute to the Centre Court audience.
“I’ve been saying it all week,” he said “But it does make a difference. It really helps when the crowd’s like that, the atmosphere is like that. Especially in a match as tough as that one.
“The first few games were brutal. And the end, mentally. That last game will be the toughest game I’ll play in my career, ever. It’s the hardest few points I’ve had to play in my life.”
More than anything, this is a story of self-advancement through dedication, of patience in the face of let-downs. In Ivan Lendl, Murray found a coach who forced him to confront the causes of defeats.“I think I persevered,” Murray said. “That’s really been it, the story of my career probably. I had a lot of tough losses, but the one thing I would say is I think every year I always improved a little bit, every year my ranking was going in the right direction.
The Game
Dunblane goes wild as local boy Murray makes history with victory at Wimbledon ;
- Murray piped onto court by Harry Richards, 15, who played bagpipes in British tennis player's hometown
- More than 50 people turned away from Dunblane Centre in Scotland,which quickly became full with fans
- Murray beats Novak Djokovic in hot conditions at Wimbledon men singles final in south-west London
- Andy Murray defeated No. 1 ranked Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win Wimbledon, ending Great Britain’s 77-year drought for men champion. Murray was magnificent, but lest we forget Djokovic had 35 unforced errors to Murray’s 14.
- John McEnroe favored Murray going into the Final simply based on the physical aspect of Djokovic’s semi-final along with the overwhelming one-sided crowd and he was dead on, because the Serbian looked absolutely gassed.
On 24 April 2012, it was announced that the total prize money offered
at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships would be £16,060,000, an increase
of 10.0% from 2011.
The bulk of the increases were given to players losing in earlier rounds. This move was in response to the growing angst among lower-ranked players concerning the inadequacy of their pay.
Sergiy Stakhovsky, a member of the ATP Player Council and who was at the time ranked 68th, was among the most vocal in the push for higher pay for players who bow out in the earlier rounds. In an interview Stakhovsky intimated that it is not uncommon for lower-ranked players to be in the negative, for certain tour events, if their results weren't stellar.
This issue gained the attention of the men's "big four"—Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Andy Murray—as well as the Championships.
On 23 April 2013, The All England Club announced the largest prize money for a tennis tournament so far. The total prize money has been increased by about 40% from 2012 to £22,560,000.
The losers in the earlier singles rounds of the tournament saw a highest 62% increase in their pay while the total prize money of the doubles increased by 22%. The prize money for participants of the qualifying matches saw an increase of 41%. Sergiy Stakhovsky, a member of the ATP Player Council, was the loudest voice for this increase.
