0:00:23 > 0:00:27out and ready as Andy Murray looks to put 77 years of hurt behind
0:00:28 > 0:00:35British tennis. It was the day last year when Andy
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Murray made asleep our seats. -- made us leap from our seats.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Murray made asleep our seats. -- made us It was the greatest moment
0:00:47 > 0:00:53in my sporting life. This was it. It was this or nothing. You don't have
0:00:54 > 0:01:01a Scottish Wimbledon finalist everyday. A huge moment for Great
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Britain, for Andy, and for our sport. It is not every day a
0:01:09 > 0:01:15Scotsman can clear the street and put the nation through the mill of
0:01:16 > 0:01:26the emotions. When he won, I screamed. Everyone was hugging each
0:01:27 > 0:01:31other. This build-up of years of watching him and thinking, it is
0:01:32 > 0:01:42going to be today. Wonderful stuff. He is eating deep.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47# Go, Andy, go, Andy! There are so many other people at
0:01:48 > 0:01:56their hoping that you can do it. It is a good thing I am not thinking
0:01:57 > 0:02:00about that one I am serving. I would love to be able to enjoy it more,
0:02:01 > 0:02:06but it has got more stressful with the expectation. My boy has just won
0:02:07 > 0:02:14Wimbledon. It doesn't seem right. It is surreal. He is just a boy who is
0:02:15 > 0:02:21really, really good laying tennis and wants nothing more than to make
0:02:22 > 0:02:27us happy. It emotionally involved the entire nation, whether you liked
0:02:28 > 0:02:39tennis or not. Still special, one year on.
0:02:40 > 0:02:47It is amazing how many people camp outside. People have been camping
0:02:48 > 0:02:50out all night at Wimbledon ahead of the Men's Singles final when Andy
0:02:51 > 0:03:02Murray takes on Novak Djokovic. I remember someone saying to me on
0:03:03 > 0:03:07the morning of the final, did you actually cook for him the night
0:03:08 > 0:03:10before, and I was offended cos there is nothing wrong with my cooking and
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I think they were afraid he was going to get food poisoning or
0:03:15 > 0:03:18something. I remember getting up very early and thinking of 12 months
0:03:19 > 0:03:24previously when he had been in his first final. The support has been
0:03:25 > 0:03:28incredible, so thank you. When you have gone through it once before,
0:03:29 > 0:03:35you are a bit better prepared for what is going to happen. It took a
0:03:36 > 0:03:40long time between ten o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the
0:03:41 > 0:03:47afternoon. It was a fair length of time to fill-in. I had deliberately
0:03:48 > 0:03:50elected to go down and help with the open golf competition at the golf
0:03:51 > 0:03:55club, and I thought that will take care of a big chunk of the morning.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I was embarrassed when the men were coming up to register, and I was
0:04:01 > 0:04:04saying, no, I won't be back in time for the match. It was touching that
0:04:05 > 0:04:13they were ahead to give up their golf to go and watch it. I thought,
0:04:14 > 0:04:19please have a good game today. That day, the morning was beautiful, and
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I went and did a bit of shopping. I sat in the garden, was getting
0:04:25 > 0:04:27prepared to watch it on TV, and my husband happened to come out into
0:04:28 > 0:04:36the garden, and I said, we are going to Dunblane. And he said, what? We
0:04:37 > 0:04:45had tennis whites, tennis rackets, tennis balls, so that we could go,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48new balls, please! It was on our schedule that we would be having
0:04:49 > 0:04:58champagne, watching the tennis and having tapas. And it worked. Rather
0:04:59 > 0:05:01than deciding to drive up on a Saturday night, we booked some train
0:05:02 > 0:05:06tickets and decided that we would go and camp on the queue. You get up
0:05:07 > 0:05:10about half past five and have to pack up your tent, and then they
0:05:11 > 0:05:15start moving around along the queue, and you get to the front of the
0:05:16 > 0:05:23queue at half past ten, and then they release you and you make your
0:05:24 > 0:05:28way in. It was a beautiful morning, and I decided to go out for a run to
0:05:29 > 0:05:34pass the time. The rest of it is a blur after that.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I had the fortune of being in touch with Judy Murray, and she said, let
0:05:39 > 0:05:46me know if you want tickets. I said, I am free on Sunday. And she said,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51do come down. I had full belief that he could get there, but I didn't
0:05:52 > 0:05:55want to say too much. I think I spend most of the morning trying to
0:05:56 > 0:05:59cord a native of body. I remember having to organise a lot of tickets
0:06:00 > 0:06:03at the last minute. My phone was jammed with people saying, I don't
0:06:04 > 0:06:11suppose you can get me a ticket? After the semifinal, I sent heretic
0:06:12 > 0:06:18it sink in -- a message saying congratulations, and she said, the
0:06:19 > 0:06:22offer is still there. SUE BARKER: The tension is building here, and
0:06:23 > 0:06:26the Men's Singles finalist at a few minutes away. It is Andy Murray
0:06:27 > 0:06:29against Novak Djokovic, blue skies all the way here, the hottest day of
0:06:30 > 0:06:41the year. And therein Dunblane in Scotland,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Andy's hometown, crowds have gathered to watch their famous son.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52They are all at the Dunblane Centre, cheering him on. Everybody was
0:06:53 > 0:06:56standing there, and there were a few people laughing, they had masks on,
0:06:57 > 0:07:05said there was a bit of excitement. SUE BARKER: The eyes of a nation are
0:07:06 > 0:07:11all on Centre Court, that famous piece of grass, 78 feet long, 36
0:07:12 > 0:07:15feet wide. It has seen it all over the years, but it is not witnessed a
0:07:16 > 0:07:22British Midland's singles winner for generations.
0:07:23 > 0:07:32What a pleasure it is to be here this afternoon at such a beautiful
0:07:33 > 0:07:36festival. We set off the day before from a place in Switzerland.
0:07:37 > 0:07:47We had a really long drive to get back to the UK to take part in the
0:07:48 > 0:07:51quandary music Festival. I didn't want to leave the house, but then we
0:07:52 > 0:07:57started to play a really fun game in the paddling pool. I can remember
0:07:58 > 0:08:06being at home, all my family were there. I had a friend down from
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Leeds. We were building a shared. I was really disappointed that my
0:08:09 > 0:08:13stage time fell right in the middle of the final, so I resigned myself
0:08:14 > 0:08:18to the fact that I wouldn't be able to see any of it. Which was a total
0:08:19 > 0:08:22shame, because you don't have a Scottish Wimbledon finalist every
0:08:23 > 0:08:33day. What an amazing time to do a set.
0:08:34 > 0:08:42Not! We went in the pool, and I did bellyflop it really hurt.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47The possibility of having a number one, I had been in and done the
0:08:48 > 0:08:53interview, and it got down to number three. And then number two was
0:08:54 > 0:08:59played, and I thought, I am either not at the top 40, or I am number
0:09:00 > 0:09:08one. # I need to know, need-to-know...
0:09:09 > 0:09:16And everybody was going, it's the Andy Murray game!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19# I need to know now... As soon is he walked out, it was
0:09:20 > 0:09:30just an uproar. That was my son, walking on to court
0:09:31 > 0:09:37to play in a Wimbledon final again. Great feeling. You are so used to
0:09:38 > 0:09:43walking out with your racket bag. How does it feel to have someone
0:09:44 > 0:09:53carry it? It is nice. He looked like he was struggling. He was laden down
0:09:54 > 0:10:00with so many bags. No matter where you are, in Wimbledon or watching on
0:10:01 > 0:10:08television or whatever, there is something gladiatorial going on. It
0:10:09 > 0:10:11is a dream tournament for me, a tournament that has given me so much
0:10:12 > 0:10:17motivation to become a professional tennis player. It is one of those
0:10:18 > 0:10:21moments where you feel like you are experiencing an out of body
0:10:22 > 0:10:27experience. You have that sense that there is something greater than just
0:10:28 > 0:10:30a tennis match. First time at Wimbledon, walking on before the
0:10:31 > 0:10:39game even started, the atmosphere was incredible. It was amazing just
0:10:40 > 0:10:43to experience that. What a time. I have competed in many sporting
0:10:44 > 0:10:50events myself, but it was unique. This feeling that 99.99% of people
0:10:51 > 0:10:53in this arena wanted Andy to win. I think the others were sitting right
0:10:54 > 0:11:00in front of me, Djokovic's family and friends. We had to shift to
0:11:01 > 0:11:03another side, which meant we were mixed in with some of his
0:11:04 > 0:11:06supporters, so I removed myself from that side and moved further back,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11because there is nothing worse than sitting there with somebody else's
0:11:12 > 0:11:19supporters shouting against your child. They don't but on the
0:11:20 > 0:11:22television before a big match, because all of the build-up makes
0:11:23 > 0:11:30you feel really nervous. We don't allow anyone to watch Andy's matches
0:11:31 > 0:11:39while we are watching it. It is too dangerous. It is quintessentially
0:11:40 > 0:11:42British. I love the etiquette, the outfits, the strawberries and cream,
0:11:43 > 0:11:49the emotions that people feel together, united. All the things we
0:11:50 > 0:11:54are not normally as British people. I was glued to the TV from early
0:11:55 > 0:12:01morning watching the build-up. We were right here as we are. She was
0:12:02 > 0:12:02one week off her due date, no real pressure that day, so I could sit
0:12:03 > 0:12:21and relax and watch the tennis. the rest of the country, willing
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Andy on. Tension was building in other areas, I think it's fair to
0:12:28 > 0:12:36say! I was glued to the screen and even walked in and said it was game
0:12:37 > 0:12:44on. I said, " I know, I'm watching". I said, no, the baby is coming,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48let's get to the hospital". We were quite calm about the baby. But I was
0:12:49 > 0:12:54panicking I was going to miss the final games. It was electric, it was
0:12:55 > 0:13:09excitement, it was tension. I remember the first point that he
0:13:10 > 0:13:15won in the first game of the first set. A massive shout. It was the
0:13:16 > 0:13:22kind of show you would expect for a team scoring a home goal in a cup
0:13:23 > 0:13:23final. That will live with me. How strong the crowd were for him and he
0:13:24 > 0:13:43felt it, too. I've doesn't look any different. He
0:13:44 > 0:13:53was so nervous that day, trust me. -- Evander Lendl.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I watched him on the Jonathan Russell Shows some months after
0:13:59 > 0:14:07Wimbledon and he was reminded of a problem he'd had with his shoe. --
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Jonathan Ross Show. I didn't remember it. I didn't remember him
0:14:12 > 0:14:12having a problem with his shoe. I didn't remember hardly anything
0:14:13 > 0:14:22about it! COMMENTATOR: So, five straight
0:14:23 > 0:14:29points. The top seed winces only service came from zero item 40. All
0:14:30 > 0:14:33senses are heightened to everybody in this great theatre of Centre
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Court. We were the first game of the first set and I got a phone call
0:14:39 > 0:14:45from my mother and she said that my father had gone out on his motorbike
0:14:46 > 0:14:55and he was stuck in a hedge. I thought, why has he gone out the
0:14:56 > 0:14:59house? The Wimbledon final was an! I said, I can't watch it. The tension
0:15:00 > 0:15:04is too much. I'm going for a run on the bike and I'll come back later. I
0:15:05 > 0:15:11went round a bend and the wheel hit a great and bounced up. I crossed a
0:15:12 > 0:15:15road over a bit of grass and straight into the hedge. They got me
0:15:16 > 0:15:20into the ambulance and I said I was all right. Susan came up in the car,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25picked me up and walked me back. My daughter and my wife were quite
0:15:26 > 0:15:29upset at missing it and it was my fault because I should have sat
0:15:30 > 0:15:36there and watched it instead of being squeamish and running off!
0:15:37 > 0:15:47Everybody was in the bar with the same agenda, watching Wimbledon,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53hoping Andy Murray was going to win. I was secretly thinking, "please win
0:15:54 > 0:15:59and don't ruin the evening, " because it might have put a damper
0:16:00 > 0:16:02on it. It was very tense. We were in a high-spirited mood and when we sat
0:16:03 > 0:16:14down and started watching the Magic got serious. Come on, Murray EX
0:16:15 > 0:16:20microkernel it! -- come on, Murray! Kill it. You want a television like
0:16:21 > 0:16:27that. My wife nearly had a nervous break down. The crowd can't believe
0:16:28 > 0:16:30what they're ceiling. It did go deadly silent on the big shots at
0:16:31 > 0:16:39the end of each set. It was really quiet.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45COMMENTATOR: He didn't miss that one! Very determined. He's always
0:16:46 > 0:16:50been that way since he was a little lad and he still is. When you see
0:16:51 > 0:16:54the work he's put in, you understand the type of individual he is because
0:16:55 > 0:17:17it doesn't come easy to achieve that success.
0:17:18 > 0:17:25He is a third of the way there. Andy Murray wins the first set. It was a
0:17:26 > 0:17:33quick game. I served well. That was good for the nerves. The camera goes
0:17:34 > 0:17:38into the box and I can see everyone's faces. It's actually not
0:17:39 > 0:17:45very nice for me to see because, obviously, they are so stressed and
0:17:46 > 0:17:48nervous. I maintain some signs that watching it is actually worse than
0:17:49 > 0:17:54playing because you have no control over what is going on at all. Yeah,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57sure(!) But you won't watch your brother play because you get so
0:17:58 > 0:18:03nervous so to an extent, you know what it feels like. At the end of
0:18:04 > 0:18:11the first set, I thought, only two sets to go. No problem. He's playing
0:18:12 > 0:18:15well. Two sets to go. On finals day, if you can't get near the front
0:18:16 > 0:18:19of the queue, you won't get in for the first set but then they start
0:18:20 > 0:18:23selling the resale tickets and there is a chance you could get offered a
0:18:24 > 0:18:32seat so I ran in and get fifth and 11th in the queue, which is
0:18:33 > 0:18:38unbelievable. Whenever Murray played Djokovic and lost the first set,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42he's never won the match. The second set start and now I'm starting to
0:18:43 > 0:18:48wonder whether we're going to get tickets.
0:18:49 > 0:18:55All of sudden, a whole group of tickets come up and her words were,
0:18:56 > 0:19:05"you won't be returning this one those quote. He said that I had got
0:19:06 > 0:19:09a debenture seat and he said that they were the only seats that were
0:19:10 > 0:19:14available for resale and I would have an amazing view. I walked up
0:19:15 > 0:19:17the stairs and the atmosphere was just incredible. Hairs on the back
0:19:18 > 0:19:26of my neck stood up. You just feel the energy.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32It can be overwhelming in that situation. You don't have anyone to
0:19:33 > 0:19:39share that load with all that pressure. It's just with you. I
0:19:40 > 0:19:43personally found it very tense, very exciting. Just an edge. Just how he
0:19:44 > 0:20:04was feeling, actually. COMMENTATOR: This is world-class
0:20:05 > 0:20:09fitting. It's an error from Murray. Djokovic has got a different look
0:20:10 > 0:20:15about him than he did 20 minutes ago. He's a hell of a player and
0:20:16 > 0:20:18there is no way he would give up. They're two determined young guys
0:20:19 > 0:20:29and you would expect him to fight back at some stage.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36I didn't think he had a chance. I thought Djokovic would beat him.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Djokovic is an extraordinary athlete.
0:20:42 > 0:20:50That was naughty. It was going Djokovic's way and I remember
0:20:51 > 0:20:58thinking, " my goodness! Please, this can't go wrong". My heart sank
0:20:59 > 0:21:04and I wondered if this was going to be the turning point. To be sitting
0:21:05 > 0:21:09on finals day on the biggest court in the world is something else but
0:21:10 > 0:21:11we were all nervous as well and it was quite tough to try and act the
0:21:12 > 0:21:32same. It's a little bit tense. He probably
0:21:33 > 0:21:37realised that this was the turning point. If he had lost that, it would
0:21:38 > 0:21:49have been very difficult to go back, to try again.
0:21:50 > 0:21:58He turned it around just by force of will and I always admire that in any
0:21:59 > 0:21:59athlete because, in the end, it's often the defining feature between
0:22:00 > 0:22:12winning and losing. COMMENTATOR: Dock which is down. --
0:22:13 > 0:22:29Djokovic is down. SUE BARKER: This is me from
0:22:30 > 0:22:41Scotland, 18 years old and dying of a brain tumour. -- Me. Judy sort of
0:22:42 > 0:22:46it all out. She got us to get the Centre Court for all four of us. At
0:22:47 > 0:22:51this time, her mobility was pretty poor. She and I were sat right on
0:22:52 > 0:22:57the court. You couldn't get any closer at all. Afterwards, Judy took
0:22:58 > 0:23:02us up to the players' lounge and Andy came through. We were sitting
0:23:03 > 0:23:07there and he came up and he was just a really normal guy. After my first
0:23:08 > 0:23:13round match, I met her, her brother and her parents. It's a tough thing
0:23:14 > 0:23:22to see because I was kind of aware of the situation. She said, "I was
0:23:23 > 0:23:27watching Roger Federer and then Maria Sharapova and then yourself
0:23:28 > 0:23:31and you were the best". She seemed incredibly happy and brave,
0:23:32 > 0:23:37considering everything that was happening to her. She was obviously
0:23:38 > 0:23:42a very inspirational character, as well. I think is me really
0:23:43 > 0:23:48appreciated speaking to him because she had been through a lot of things
0:23:49 > 0:23:56where she had to step up and she was really determined, much like Andy. I
0:23:57 > 0:23:59got an e-mail from her with her story saying that her time at school
0:24:00 > 0:24:04had been so hard and all of the things she would like to achieve.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08She had singers on the list, bands, she wanted to see busy Cairo, which
0:24:09 > 0:24:18she did, and lots of other things that she wanted to do. -- Biffy
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Clyro. She wanted to meet Sir Chris Hoy and she had other people that
0:24:22 > 0:24:26she admired, like Andy, and she wanted to go to Wimbledon. It was a
0:24:27 > 0:24:29question of trying to make that come true for her and the whole family
0:24:30 > 0:24:33were big tennis fans so it was lovely to share that with them and
0:24:34 > 0:24:37she was a remarkable character. You could tell that she was just blown
0:24:38 > 0:24:42away by the whole experience, which was just lovely. Every day, we would
0:24:43 > 0:24:47just look at what games were on and especially when Andy was playing,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Esme would be really excited and we would all watch the TV together.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56That was a very positive thing to focus on and she really enjoyed it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01It built up and built up and was really important because in the last
0:25:02 > 0:25:06couple of weeks, Esme was getting more and more ill so it was good to
0:25:07 > 0:25:11have something to focus on. She knew he was in the final and by that
0:25:12 > 0:25:16date, we knew that she didn't have long left with us and she had been
0:25:17 > 0:25:29very ill on the Saturday and we had been told that, really, this was the
0:25:30 > 0:25:37end of her journey. We got the papers on Sunday, as usual. There
0:25:38 > 0:25:41was a big centre spread, a big photo of Andy, and we pinned it up in her
0:25:42 > 0:25:49bedroom. In fact, it's still pinned up. We were all lying in her bed, in
0:25:50 > 0:25:54her room. I got the laptop and put it on a chair in front of her bed so
0:25:55 > 0:25:58we all watched the final and I think she was aware of what was going on,
0:25:59 > 0:26:05definitely. SUE BARKER: Before she went, as the
0:26:06 > 0:26:10-- Esme wanted Andy to win Wimbledon, to fight for the title.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13She always had a dog a determination, much like Andy
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Murray. When he's losing a match, he always manages to fight back and
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Esme have those qualities as well. That's what a lot of people were
0:26:24 > 0:26:27inspired by Esme four. In the face of huge adversity, she still managed
0:26:28 > 0:26:34to enjoy life and get as much out of it as possible. I think that is the
0:26:35 > 0:26:41legacy she has left. Esme didn't make it to the end of the final.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Approaching four o'clock on this Sunday afternoon in the Wimbledon
0:26:48 > 0:26:54Men's Singles final. When we subsequently played it back, the
0:26:55 > 0:27:00final match, it was just at the point where Andy went one game down
0:27:01 > 0:27:07in the set but then he managed to come back and from then on, he was
0:27:08 > 0:27:14on his way to victory. And Esme died at four o'clock and it was as if she
0:27:15 > 0:27:31was saying, "I've done my bit, so now I'll go".
0:27:32 > 0:27:47game of the match so far. And he finds the line once again, three
0:27:48 > 0:27:51straight games. finds the line once again, three
0:27:52 > 0:27:57straight Murray back in the second set. I remember at one stage
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Djokovic making an unforced error and finding myself clapping and
0:28:00 > 0:28:14cheering. you are not supposed to clap other
0:28:15 > 0:28:18people's mistakes, which he was right about, and I would never
0:28:19 > 0:28:22normally do it. And I'm sure most of the other people they wouldn't do,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27either. But we were getting so wrapped up in the match, we couldn't
0:28:28 > 0:28:32help ourselves. I said, I'm really sorry, but it was a big point, and
0:28:33 > 0:28:42we have waited 77 years, and a little smile came on his face.
0:28:43 > 0:28:56Yes! Yes! What point! Murray goes up a break in the second set, 6-5.
0:28:57 > 0:29:15Let's just hope the man from Dunblane keeps his cool.
0:29:16 > 0:29:32Was that emphatic or what? Two sets to Murray. He is one set away from
0:29:33 > 0:29:36history. For the first set, we were in the paddling pool, eating
0:29:37 > 0:29:41sandwiches and having a picnic. The second set, which what she most of
0:29:42 > 0:29:48it and then we went back in the paddling pool -- we watched most of
0:29:49 > 0:29:56it. And in the last set, we were in and out and in and out. I was made
0:29:57 > 0:30:01redundant in June, and I have lots of air miles that enabled me to be
0:30:02 > 0:30:06with my grandson on his birthday, because he was born on July the 4th.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12They already have a trip to Niagara booked for his birthday present. I
0:30:13 > 0:30:19realised that we would then be travelling back during the men's
0:30:20 > 0:30:22final, and I was a bit upset. I'm not such a massive sports fan that
0:30:23 > 0:30:29I'm going to put that in front of my family, but I wanted both. We were
0:30:30 > 0:30:37all here. It was a sunny day, we had a barbecue later. We said, come
0:30:38 > 0:30:42round and watch Wimbledon with us. Come round and watch a bit of it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46And there we were watching it on the big screen, and we couldn't believe
0:30:47 > 0:30:51it. That we could have a power cut on such a big occasion. And then
0:30:52 > 0:30:59these geniuses thought of watching it on the phone, which I wouldn't
0:31:00 > 0:31:06have dreams of doing. I looked to see if it was on the TV, and it was.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12We watched some more over breakfast, and then we went to the train, and I
0:31:13 > 0:31:21was able to watch it on my phone. That was my only option. I was on
0:31:22 > 0:31:26vacation, so it was the real thing, it was following all the match, and
0:31:27 > 0:31:32life was good and I was able to what for a moment yes, for a moment not,
0:31:33 > 0:31:41I was on the boat so I was not able to see all of it. It depended on
0:31:42 > 0:31:45where I was, so I was able to see some moment. The power went out just
0:31:46 > 0:31:48before the third set, and we eventually figured out that we could
0:31:49 > 0:31:57watch it on a phone, and we looked at what we had. The only phone with
0:31:58 > 0:32:043G has 10% battery left on it. We were trying to figure out the right
0:32:05 > 0:32:12time to watch it. So we are thinking, come on, Andy, at least do
0:32:13 > 0:32:19it for the battery runs out! Has he won this battle? Absolutely not, far
0:32:20 > 0:32:28from it. Djokovic is number one because he will never give up. My
0:32:29 > 0:32:32mum is very famous for making her home-made shortbread. You heard that
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Chris Hoy was ducking into the short read. My brother started passing
0:32:39 > 0:32:46this tin of short and around. I think everyone need a pick me up.
0:32:47 > 0:32:54This tin was getting passed around, and I realised how much of a family
0:32:55 > 0:32:59occasion this was. I just looked and didn't say anything, because for me
0:33:00 > 0:33:04it was like, we are not on a picnic. This is serious! And you have
0:33:05 > 0:33:10relaxed because you think he is good to win now, and you are handing out
0:33:11 > 0:33:14shortbread. I was secretly fuming, but I do remember that very clearly,
0:33:15 > 0:33:29thinking, it is never over until it's over. Third set. This happened
0:33:30 > 0:33:36at the U.S. Open, he was two sets up, lost the next, and it went to a
0:33:37 > 0:33:40fifth and he did it, so he has done it before. Please let this be the
0:33:41 > 0:33:44day, because we know how desperate he was to win this for the country,
0:33:45 > 0:34:10for Britain, for us, for Dunblane, for every body.
0:34:11 > 0:34:17Once the game got under way, Andy had the first couple of sets under
0:34:18 > 0:34:23his belt, I thought that was it. This is a break point, the ball was
0:34:24 > 0:34:35called good. Did it float long? Oh, yes! Murray is on his way, already a
0:34:36 > 0:34:40break up in sets number three. Djokovic is an amazing player. There
0:34:41 > 0:34:44is always a chance that he will pull something out of the bag, put a few
0:34:45 > 0:34:51games together. But Murray did seem calm for most of it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:58And the ball is wide! The linesman's arm goes out, and the man
0:34:59 > 0:35:12is back in. This is desperate stuff now.
0:35:13 > 0:35:21All of a sudden, Murray seems slightly out of sorts stop I felt
0:35:22 > 0:35:23like I had several occasions in the match that I could turn it around,
0:35:24 > 0:35:37and I felt physically fine. It is hellish. You feel really bad
0:35:38 > 0:35:46for your son. It is difficult to see, because you know he is hurting,
0:35:47 > 0:35:52and so are we. It has all gone south in the last 15 minutes for Andy
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Murray. Roy is the most mild-mannered of people, but when he
0:35:56 > 0:36:01is watching his grandson play tennis, he is a transformation! And
0:36:02 > 0:36:07suddenly, he has lost four games in a row, and here is Djokovic serving
0:36:08 > 0:36:12at 4-2. I know exactly how he should lay each shot and win each match.
0:36:13 > 0:36:20APPLAUSE I have been known to disappear into
0:36:21 > 0:36:21the kitchen and watch it on the small television when I can't take
0:36:22 > 0:36:32any more. I would love to be able to enjoy it
0:36:33 > 0:36:48more, I really would, but it has got more stressful with the expectation.
0:36:49 > 0:36:56I have lots of respect because it is an individual sport where everything
0:36:57 > 0:36:58is on your shoulders. If you lose, you lose, that is it. If you lose,
0:36:59 > 0:37:24you fail. Tennis is only them. He has made it down the line! What a
0:37:25 > 0:37:28wonderful forehand. A lesser person would have crumbled and said, I
0:37:29 > 0:37:32can't do it. The occasion is too much, it is too much of a burden,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35the nation is weighing down on my shoulders, I'm sorry. But he didn't,
0:37:36 > 0:37:58and it was just an amazing moment. And the crowd was just so up for it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01It is two weeks of the year where tennis is suddenly the most
0:38:02 > 0:38:12important thing in the world, and I think that's amazing.
0:38:13 > 0:38:35I think that may have been the point where I was behind the city, --
0:38:36 > 0:38:40behind the sofa, peering over the top. The sheer will and
0:38:41 > 0:38:55determination to get to that ball before it bounces twice.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02I think Andy made something amazing that day. Everybody forgot he was
0:39:03 > 0:39:10Scottish, and everybody saw that he was British. The whole UK was behind
0:39:11 > 0:39:16him. I remembered just before he served out for the match, everybody
0:39:17 > 0:39:22chanting, Andy, Andy, Andy! It was more Davis Cup the Wimbledon final.
0:39:23 > 0:39:30When I got on stage, I remember that the Wimbledon final was going on
0:39:31 > 0:39:38right now, and I randomly throughout the set could hear cheering, but I
0:39:39 > 0:39:45had no idea what the score was, so I was hoping it was good.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50He's serving for the match! A lot of people had been shouting, he is
0:39:51 > 0:39:54going to win, he is going to win. I said, we need to all focus on the TV
0:39:55 > 0:40:00and see what is happening. I'm not sure what to do here. I'm in
0:40:01 > 0:40:08two minds. Why have I got a gig to do? You guys can keep me informed.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14When I came out to serve for the match, I didn't feel too bad. I was
0:40:15 > 0:40:17expecting myself to feel awful, and I think sometimes when you build
0:40:18 > 0:40:20something up in your head so much, when you actually get to that
0:40:21 > 0:40:27moment, it is not as bad as you think. Djokovic is out and ready as
0:40:28 > 0:40:35Andy Murray looks to put 77 years of hurt behind British tennis. That
0:40:36 > 0:40:42last game was absolute torture. I could hear my heart. He said after
0:40:43 > 0:40:46the match that he felt that if he lost that game, he could easily lose
0:40:47 > 0:40:54the set and maybe the match. He should have told me that during, not
0:40:55 > 0:41:01after! Andy Murray taking his time coming out to serve for Wimbledon. I
0:41:02 > 0:41:06will never forget that last game. It was an absolute blur. This was the
0:41:07 > 0:41:12be all and end all. It was win or nothing. You couldn't hear anything
0:41:13 > 0:41:26because everyone was just hanging in there.
0:41:27 > 0:41:36CHEERING One down, three to go.
0:41:37 > 0:41:44Let's get that first serve working right now. Often his left arm gets a
0:41:45 > 0:41:49bit tight and he doesn't throw the ball up high enough, and I was just
0:41:50 > 0:41:51thinking, throw it up, throw it up. Just crack it and it won't come
0:41:52 > 0:42:59back. When it got to 40-0, I was thinking,
0:43:00 > 0:43:05we just need one serve, we just need one serve not to come back. And all
0:43:06 > 0:43:15I am thinking at that stage is ace, ace, ace. I just think he deserves
0:43:16 > 0:43:19this. I remember he went, 40-0 up, which is brilliant, he is going to
0:43:20 > 0:43:49walk it from here. He has three chances, three championship points.
0:43:50 > 0:44:22Djokovic not giving in just yet. Point number three.
0:44:23 > 0:44:33For de-0. For de-0. And the next thing, it's deuce. Can't believe it.
0:44:34 > 0:44:44In a blink, it seemed like it was deuces. "this isn't real, this can't
0:44:45 > 0:44:48happen". At 40-0 up, you think he's going to do it. But this guy just
0:44:49 > 0:45:14wouldn't go away. The pressure was clearly getting to
0:45:15 > 0:45:20me. On of the court, I went to pick up my towel and my arm was shaking
0:45:21 > 0:45:23and I knew that I was in trouble if I couldn't finish that game. It
0:45:24 > 0:45:27could have got quite ugly. I was sitting at the edge of the coffee
0:45:28 > 0:45:41table by this time. I was practically on the set!
0:45:42 > 0:45:48One minute I was wanting to cry, the next minute I felt sick, and next
0:45:49 > 0:45:50minute it was hot, you were thirsty and there were so many emotions, it
0:45:51 > 0:45:57was like a roller-coaster. # Lets go, Andy, let's go
0:45:58 > 0:46:30# Come on, Andy, come on #. Andy, put it back! Oh! You lucky
0:46:31 > 0:46:34salt! Jamey! The longer it went on, there was a feeling that this could
0:46:35 > 0:46:38be the turning point of the match. If Andy doesn't win the set and win
0:46:39 > 0:46:41the match, there's a good chance Djokovic good comeback into it. It
0:46:42 > 0:46:51would have gone down as the biggest joke in history. You start to think,
0:46:52 > 0:46:55what if this all goes ugly and you've been two sets up an three
0:46:56 > 0:47:02match points and you lose it and you don't regroup. As a parent, you're
0:47:03 > 0:47:04always thinking, "I might have to do a whole load of rescuing here. This
0:47:05 > 0:47:47is going to be really tricky". CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:47:48 > 0:47:52Soaking up the pressure. He is going to collapse if he gets through the
0:47:53 > 0:47:55game. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. This is the boy digging deep. I
0:47:56 > 0:47:58literally couldn't breathe after some of these points. Sporting
0:47:59 > 0:48:21immortality doesn't come easily. This is reaching new heights. We
0:48:22 > 0:48:26talk about physical prowess but it's emotional prowess as well. He stayed
0:48:27 > 0:48:33in control. It's another break point. Murray has had three
0:48:34 > 0:48:38championship points. He had 40-0 in this game.
0:48:39 > 0:50:31Any point will do. Any point will do. That was Boris. It's funny. He
0:50:32 > 0:50:40is now coaching Novak. UMPIRE: Game, set and match,
0:50:41 > 0:50:50Murray! The waiting is over. Andy Murray is the Wimbledon
0:50:51 > 0:51:12champion. He's won Wimbledon! everyone was saying, "look, look,
0:51:13 > 0:51:17your son has just won Wimbledon. You've got to look". A massive cheer
0:51:18 > 0:51:25went up and I knew exactly why. He had won.
0:51:26 > 0:51:36I may have welled up a touch. I can't remember exactly. I think I
0:51:37 > 0:51:41lost a bit of my voice that day. I am not embarrassed to admit I got
0:51:42 > 0:51:47very emotional. I went to the bar and I was like, " give me loads of
0:51:48 > 0:51:56shots, " had loads of shots to celebrate and was like, "this is the
0:51:57 > 0:52:01best hen do ever. This is amazing!" Our daughter was born. The midwife
0:52:02 > 0:52:05passed her over and said, "you have a daughter," and Sheila to me and
0:52:06 > 0:52:19smiled and said, by the way, Andy Murray won. I just relaxed. He's
0:52:20 > 0:52:28just won Wimbledon! He's done it! He's done it! We were jumping up as
0:52:29 > 0:52:33best we can. " Right, that's it, we're down to the sports club". The
0:52:34 > 0:52:37atmosphere was amazing. They were all cheering and stamping their
0:52:38 > 0:52:44feet. Certain things will just live with me for ever. Very difficult to
0:52:45 > 0:52:51put into words, I've got to say. Without bursting into tears! I sat
0:52:52 > 0:52:55down after I'd celebrated on the court and I asked the referee if I
0:52:56 > 0:53:00had time to go out to the side of the court and for me, it was quite
0:53:01 > 0:53:03nice because on my way up, John McEnroe was in his commentary booth
0:53:04 > 0:53:07and to see him there as soon as I had finished was pretty cool. The
0:53:08 > 0:53:17first person I went to was Ivan Lendl. He came up and shook hands
0:53:18 > 0:53:20and gave everybody a high five. I didn't get to see my family much
0:53:21 > 0:53:26because they were all sitting on the rows behind so I couldn't reach them
0:53:27 > 0:53:33and my uncle, who was three rows bind, just behind Chris Hoy, and I
0:53:34 > 0:53:36saw it back and he was leaning over and you could see the sweaty armpits
0:53:37 > 0:53:44and he was robbing them on Chris Hoy's head. -- robbing them on Chris
0:53:45 > 0:53:52Hawley's head as he was reaching over. I said, "don't forget your
0:53:53 > 0:53:59mum!" I don't know if it was somebody in Novak's box. I thought
0:54:00 > 0:54:04I'd better walk down and he went, " oh, hi, Mum". That was just like
0:54:05 > 0:54:09him, like he'd just come in from work or something. And it is
0:54:10 > 0:54:14wonderful that she is congratulated by the parents of the man that her
0:54:15 > 0:54:18son congratulated in the final. I've known them since the kids were 12 or
0:54:19 > 0:54:2313. We went through the whole thing together. We know what it's like. I
0:54:24 > 0:54:27know that they will have been gutted but every single one of them came
0:54:28 > 0:54:32over and said congratulations and gave me a hug. Regardless of losing
0:54:33 > 0:54:38that much, I enjoyed it, being part of a very special moment for British
0:54:39 > 0:54:45tennis, for Andy. He deserved to win that match. He was a better player.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50What's amazing about him, he's such a class act. I know he's genuinely
0:54:51 > 0:54:54happy for Murray and for Britain. He is disappointed that he lost but he
0:54:55 > 0:54:58gets how important this is to Britain and to Scotland and to Andy
0:54:59 > 0:55:06Murray. He's like that. He's an amazing dude. I loved it when Andy
0:55:07 > 0:55:12had the trophy and you could see him looking at it and treasuring it so
0:55:13 > 0:55:18much and then you dropped the lid! I was trying to look at some of the
0:55:19 > 0:55:22names on it and the list came off. I went and saw him in the locker room
0:55:23 > 0:55:27afterwards and I remember giving him a hug and saying, "I just don't know
0:55:28 > 0:55:32how you did that, " and Andy looked at me and said, "I don't know
0:55:33 > 0:55:38either". He was literally in a state of shock. The atmosphere was just
0:55:39 > 0:55:48unreal and then we got a phone call from Andy. But we couldn't hear it
0:55:49 > 0:55:52for the noise! I said, "there is a terrific party going on here. The
0:55:53 > 0:55:59whole of Dunblane is thrilled for you, " and that kind of thing. He
0:56:00 > 0:56:04said, "thanks, Gran. Are you all right?" And I said, " yeah,
0:56:05 > 0:56:10absolutely fine". 30 minutes after the match, it all just hit me. I was
0:56:11 > 0:56:14so tired. We were all up on the grass pit of the players' lounge and
0:56:15 > 0:56:20everyone was drinking champagne and taking photos and I got this message
0:56:21 > 0:56:24from you saying, "come down and say hi, " because you were stuck down
0:56:25 > 0:56:30stairs. In two hours, you've got to be at the Wimbledon ball. How does
0:56:31 > 0:56:34that happen? There's no time to go home and change. "Oh, that's not a
0:56:35 > 0:56:38problem, you go down to the locker room and there is an Aladdin's Cave
0:56:39 > 0:56:44of clothes and shoes and hairstylists". Auntie Judy said,
0:56:45 > 0:56:52"oh, no, I have to go and get changed for the Wimbledon ball". So
0:56:53 > 0:56:59we volunteered to help. We had forgotten all about it. I was
0:57:00 > 0:57:02thinking I had nothing to wear. I didn't realise at that stage that
0:57:03 > 0:57:08the people fit you out. I was whisked away for that. I think it
0:57:09 > 0:57:12was after a meal that Judy and I were getting our photograph taken
0:57:13 > 0:57:15with the gold trophy and people wondered who it was with the trophy
0:57:16 > 0:57:23and then they started to applaud, which was lovely. We went to Andy's
0:57:24 > 0:57:29table and he saw us and he got up and gave us a hug and that was very
0:57:30 > 0:57:33emotional. To have me and my brother having both won a Wimbledon title,
0:57:34 > 0:57:39it was just great to have them there. It was a nice photo and a
0:57:40 > 0:57:46nice moment for all of us. And it is actually in our downstairs loo!
0:57:47 > 0:57:51That's nice. Four or five days after Wimbledon finished, I went back to
0:57:52 > 0:57:56Wimbledon to see Centre Court. There was no one there, it was completely
0:57:57 > 0:58:02empty. I just walked around the court. There were no security
0:58:03 > 0:58:06guards, groundsman, nothing. I took my phone and I filmed what, in my
0:58:07 > 0:58:17mind, was how the last point played out. Any points will do.
0:58:18 > 0:58:30With, obviously, no rackets or balls or nets or anything. And that was
0:58:31 > 0:58:34it. I was like, "my cousin is one of the best tennis players in the
0:58:35 > 0:58:37world," and then I never thought about it for a while because I was
0:58:38 > 0:58:39thinking of what I was going to have for lunch.
