out and ready as Andy Murray looks to put 77 years of hurt behind

0:00:230:00:27

British tennis. It was the day last year when Andy

0:00:280:00:35

Murray made asleep our seats. -- made us leap from our seats.

0:00:360:00:40

Murray made asleep our seats. -- made us It was the greatest moment

0:00:410:00:46

in my sporting life. This was it. It was this or nothing. You don't have

0:00:470:00:53

a Scottish Wimbledon finalist everyday. A huge moment for Great

0:00:540:01:01

Britain, for Andy, and for our sport. It is not every day a

0:01:020:01:08

Scotsman can clear the street and put the nation through the mill of

0:01:090:01:15

the emotions. When he won, I screamed. Everyone was hugging each

0:01:160:01:26

other. This build-up of years of watching him and thinking, it is

0:01:270:01:31

going to be today. Wonderful stuff. He is eating deep.

0:01:320:01:42

# Go, Andy, go, Andy! There are so many other people at

0:01:430:01:47

their hoping that you can do it. It is a good thing I am not thinking

0:01:480:01:56

about that one I am serving. I would love to be able to enjoy it more,

0:01:570:02:00

but it has got more stressful with the expectation. My boy has just won

0:02:010:02:06

Wimbledon. It doesn't seem right. It is surreal. He is just a boy who is

0:02:070:02:14

really, really good laying tennis and wants nothing more than to make

0:02:150:02:21

us happy. It emotionally involved the entire nation, whether you liked

0:02:220:02:27

tennis or not. Still special, one year on.

0:02:280:02:39

It is amazing how many people camp outside. People have been camping

0:02:400:02:47

out all night at Wimbledon ahead of the Men's Singles final when Andy

0:02:480:02:50

Murray takes on Novak Djokovic. I remember someone saying to me on

0:02:510:03:02

the morning of the final, did you actually cook for him the night

0:03:030:03:07

before, and I was offended cos there is nothing wrong with my cooking and

0:03:080:03:10

I think they were afraid he was going to get food poisoning or

0:03:110:03:14

something. I remember getting up very early and thinking of 12 months

0:03:150:03:18

previously when he had been in his first final. The support has been

0:03:190:03:24

incredible, so thank you. When you have gone through it once before,

0:03:250:03:28

you are a bit better prepared for what is going to happen. It took a

0:03:290:03:35

long time between ten o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the

0:03:360:03:40

afternoon. It was a fair length of time to fill-in. I had deliberately

0:03:410:03:47

elected to go down and help with the open golf competition at the golf

0:03:480:03:50

club, and I thought that will take care of a big chunk of the morning.

0:03:510:03:55

I was embarrassed when the men were coming up to register, and I was

0:03:560:04:00

saying, no, I won't be back in time for the match. It was touching that

0:04:010:04:04

they were ahead to give up their golf to go and watch it. I thought,

0:04:050:04:13

please have a good game today. That day, the morning was beautiful, and

0:04:140:04:19

I went and did a bit of shopping. I sat in the garden, was getting

0:04:200:04:24

prepared to watch it on TV, and my husband happened to come out into

0:04:250:04:27

the garden, and I said, we are going to Dunblane. And he said, what? We

0:04:280:04:36

had tennis whites, tennis rackets, tennis balls, so that we could go,

0:04:370:04:45

new balls, please! It was on our schedule that we would be having

0:04:460:04:48

champagne, watching the tennis and having tapas. And it worked. Rather

0:04:490:04:58

than deciding to drive up on a Saturday night, we booked some train

0:04:590:05:01

tickets and decided that we would go and camp on the queue. You get up

0:05:020:05:06

about half past five and have to pack up your tent, and then they

0:05:070:05:10

start moving around along the queue, and you get to the front of the

0:05:110:05:15

queue at half past ten, and then they release you and you make your

0:05:160:05:23

way in. It was a beautiful morning, and I decided to go out for a run to

0:05:240:05:28

pass the time. The rest of it is a blur after that.

0:05:290:05:34

I had the fortune of being in touch with Judy Murray, and she said, let

0:05:350:05:38

me know if you want tickets. I said, I am free on Sunday. And she said,

0:05:390:05:46

do come down. I had full belief that he could get there, but I didn't

0:05:470:05:51

want to say too much. I think I spend most of the morning trying to

0:05:520:05:55

cord a native of body. I remember having to organise a lot of tickets

0:05:560:05:59

at the last minute. My phone was jammed with people saying, I don't

0:06:000:06:03

suppose you can get me a ticket? After the semifinal, I sent heretic

0:06:040:06:11

it sink in -- a message saying congratulations, and she said, the

0:06:120:06:18

offer is still there. SUE BARKER: The tension is building here, and

0:06:190:06:22

the Men's Singles finalist at a few minutes away. It is Andy Murray

0:06:230:06:26

against Novak Djokovic, blue skies all the way here, the hottest day of

0:06:270:06:29

the year. And therein Dunblane in Scotland,

0:06:300:06:41

Andy's hometown, crowds have gathered to watch their famous son.

0:06:420:06:46

They are all at the Dunblane Centre, cheering him on. Everybody was

0:06:470:06:52

standing there, and there were a few people laughing, they had masks on,

0:06:530:06:56

said there was a bit of excitement. SUE BARKER: The eyes of a nation are

0:06:570:07:05

all on Centre Court, that famous piece of grass, 78 feet long, 36

0:07:060:07:11

feet wide. It has seen it all over the years, but it is not witnessed a

0:07:120:07:15

British Midland's singles winner for generations.

0:07:160:07:22

What a pleasure it is to be here this afternoon at such a beautiful

0:07:230:07:32

festival. We set off the day before from a place in Switzerland.

0:07:330:07:36

We had a really long drive to get back to the UK to take part in the

0:07:370:07:47

quandary music Festival. I didn't want to leave the house, but then we

0:07:480:07:51

started to play a really fun game in the paddling pool. I can remember

0:07:520:07:57

being at home, all my family were there. I had a friend down from

0:07:580:08:06

Leeds. We were building a shared. I was really disappointed that my

0:08:070:08:08

stage time fell right in the middle of the final, so I resigned myself

0:08:090:08:13

to the fact that I wouldn't be able to see any of it. Which was a total

0:08:140:08:18

shame, because you don't have a Scottish Wimbledon finalist every

0:08:190:08:22

day. What an amazing time to do a set.

0:08:230:08:33

Not! We went in the pool, and I did bellyflop it really hurt.

0:08:340:08:42

The possibility of having a number one, I had been in and done the

0:08:430:08:47

interview, and it got down to number three. And then number two was

0:08:480:08:53

played, and I thought, I am either not at the top 40, or I am number

0:08:540:08:59

one. # I need to know, need-to-know...

0:09:000:09:08

And everybody was going, it's the Andy Murray game!

0:09:090:09:16

# I need to know now... As soon is he walked out, it was

0:09:170:09:19

just an uproar. That was my son, walking on to court

0:09:200:09:30

to play in a Wimbledon final again. Great feeling. You are so used to

0:09:310:09:37

walking out with your racket bag. How does it feel to have someone

0:09:380:09:43

carry it? It is nice. He looked like he was struggling. He was laden down

0:09:440:09:53

with so many bags. No matter where you are, in Wimbledon or watching on

0:09:540:10:00

television or whatever, there is something gladiatorial going on. It

0:10:010:10:08

is a dream tournament for me, a tournament that has given me so much

0:10:090:10:11

motivation to become a professional tennis player. It is one of those

0:10:120:10:17

moments where you feel like you are experiencing an out of body

0:10:180:10:21

experience. You have that sense that there is something greater than just

0:10:220:10:27

a tennis match. First time at Wimbledon, walking on before the

0:10:280:10:30

game even started, the atmosphere was incredible. It was amazing just

0:10:310:10:39

to experience that. What a time. I have competed in many sporting

0:10:400:10:43

events myself, but it was unique. This feeling that 99.99% of people

0:10:440:10:50

in this arena wanted Andy to win. I think the others were sitting right

0:10:510:10:53

in front of me, Djokovic's family and friends. We had to shift to

0:10:540:11:00

another side, which meant we were mixed in with some of his

0:11:010:11:03

supporters, so I removed myself from that side and moved further back,

0:11:040:11:06

because there is nothing worse than sitting there with somebody else's

0:11:070:11:11

supporters shouting against your child. They don't but on the

0:11:120:11:19

television before a big match, because all of the build-up makes

0:11:200:11:22

you feel really nervous. We don't allow anyone to watch Andy's matches

0:11:230:11:30

while we are watching it. It is too dangerous. It is quintessentially

0:11:310:11:39

British. I love the etiquette, the outfits, the strawberries and cream,

0:11:400:11:42

the emotions that people feel together, united. All the things we

0:11:430:11:49

are not normally as British people. I was glued to the TV from early

0:11:500:11:54

morning watching the build-up. We were right here as we are. She was

0:11:550:12:01

one week off her due date, no real pressure that day, so I could sit

0:12:020:12:02

and relax and watch the tennis. the rest of the country, willing

0:12:030:12:21

Andy on. Tension was building in other areas, I think it's fair to

0:12:220:12:27

say! I was glued to the screen and even walked in and said it was game

0:12:280:12:36

on. I said, " I know, I'm watching". I said, no, the baby is coming,

0:12:370:12:44

let's get to the hospital". We were quite calm about the baby. But I was

0:12:450:12:48

panicking I was going to miss the final games. It was electric, it was

0:12:490:12:54

excitement, it was tension. I remember the first point that he

0:12:550:13:09

won in the first game of the first set. A massive shout. It was the

0:13:100:13:15

kind of show you would expect for a team scoring a home goal in a cup

0:13:160:13:22

final. That will live with me. How strong the crowd were for him and he

0:13:230:13:23

felt it, too. I've doesn't look any different. He

0:13:240:13:43

was so nervous that day, trust me. -- Evander Lendl.

0:13:440:13:53

I watched him on the Jonathan Russell Shows some months after

0:13:540:13:58

Wimbledon and he was reminded of a problem he'd had with his shoe. --

0:13:590:14:07

Jonathan Ross Show. I didn't remember it. I didn't remember him

0:14:080:14:11

having a problem with his shoe. I didn't remember hardly anything

0:14:120:14:12

about it! COMMENTATOR: So, five straight

0:14:130:14:22

points. The top seed winces only service came from zero item 40. All

0:14:230:14:29

senses are heightened to everybody in this great theatre of Centre

0:14:300:14:33

Court. We were the first game of the first set and I got a phone call

0:14:340:14:38

from my mother and she said that my father had gone out on his motorbike

0:14:390:14:45

and he was stuck in a hedge. I thought, why has he gone out the

0:14:460:14:55

house? The Wimbledon final was an! I said, I can't watch it. The tension

0:14:560:14:59

is too much. I'm going for a run on the bike and I'll come back later. I

0:15:000:15:04

went round a bend and the wheel hit a great and bounced up. I crossed a

0:15:050:15:11

road over a bit of grass and straight into the hedge. They got me

0:15:120:15:15

into the ambulance and I said I was all right. Susan came up in the car,

0:15:160:15:20

picked me up and walked me back. My daughter and my wife were quite

0:15:210:15:25

upset at missing it and it was my fault because I should have sat

0:15:260:15:29

there and watched it instead of being squeamish and running off!

0:15:300:15:36

Everybody was in the bar with the same agenda, watching Wimbledon,

0:15:370:15:47

hoping Andy Murray was going to win. I was secretly thinking, "please win

0:15:480:15:53

and don't ruin the evening, " because it might have put a damper

0:15:540:15:59

on it. It was very tense. We were in a high-spirited mood and when we sat

0:16:000:16:02

down and started watching the Magic got serious. Come on, Murray EX

0:16:030:16:14

microkernel it! -- come on, Murray! Kill it. You want a television like

0:16:150:16:20

that. My wife nearly had a nervous break down. The crowd can't believe

0:16:210:16:27

what they're ceiling. It did go deadly silent on the big shots at

0:16:280:16:30

the end of each set. It was really quiet.

0:16:310:16:39

COMMENTATOR: He didn't miss that one! Very determined. He's always

0:16:400:16:45

been that way since he was a little lad and he still is. When you see

0:16:460:16:50

the work he's put in, you understand the type of individual he is because

0:16:510:16:54

it doesn't come easy to achieve that success.

0:16:550:17:17

He is a third of the way there. Andy Murray wins the first set. It was a

0:17:180:17:25

quick game. I served well. That was good for the nerves. The camera goes

0:17:260:17:33

into the box and I can see everyone's faces. It's actually not

0:17:340:17:38

very nice for me to see because, obviously, they are so stressed and

0:17:390:17:45

nervous. I maintain some signs that watching it is actually worse than

0:17:460:17:48

playing because you have no control over what is going on at all. Yeah,

0:17:490:17:54

sure(!) But you won't watch your brother play because you get so

0:17:550:17:57

nervous so to an extent, you know what it feels like. At the end of

0:17:580:18:03

the first set, I thought, only two sets to go. No problem. He's playing

0:18:040:18:11

well. Two sets to go. On finals day, if you can't get near the front

0:18:120:18:15

of the queue, you won't get in for the first set but then they start

0:18:160:18:19

selling the resale tickets and there is a chance you could get offered a

0:18:200:18:23

seat so I ran in and get fifth and 11th in the queue, which is

0:18:240:18:32

unbelievable. Whenever Murray played Djokovic and lost the first set,

0:18:330:18:38

he's never won the match. The second set start and now I'm starting to

0:18:390:18:42

wonder whether we're going to get tickets.

0:18:430:18:48

All of sudden, a whole group of tickets come up and her words were,

0:18:490:18:55

"you won't be returning this one those quote. He said that I had got

0:18:560:19:05

a debenture seat and he said that they were the only seats that were

0:19:060:19:09

available for resale and I would have an amazing view. I walked up

0:19:100:19:14

the stairs and the atmosphere was just incredible. Hairs on the back

0:19:150:19:17

of my neck stood up. You just feel the energy.

0:19:180:19:26

It can be overwhelming in that situation. You don't have anyone to

0:19:270:19:32

share that load with all that pressure. It's just with you. I

0:19:330:19:39

personally found it very tense, very exciting. Just an edge. Just how he

0:19:400:19:43

was feeling, actually. COMMENTATOR: This is world-class

0:19:440:20:04

fitting. It's an error from Murray. Djokovic has got a different look

0:20:050:20:09

about him than he did 20 minutes ago. He's a hell of a player and

0:20:100:20:15

there is no way he would give up. They're two determined young guys

0:20:160:20:18

and you would expect him to fight back at some stage.

0:20:190:20:29

I didn't think he had a chance. I thought Djokovic would beat him.

0:20:300:20:36

Djokovic is an extraordinary athlete.

0:20:370:20:41

That was naughty. It was going Djokovic's way and I remember

0:20:420:20:50

thinking, " my goodness! Please, this can't go wrong". My heart sank

0:20:510:20:58

and I wondered if this was going to be the turning point. To be sitting

0:20:590:21:04

on finals day on the biggest court in the world is something else but

0:21:050:21:09

we were all nervous as well and it was quite tough to try and act the

0:21:100:21:11

same. It's a little bit tense. He probably

0:21:120:21:32

realised that this was the turning point. If he had lost that, it would

0:21:330:21:37

have been very difficult to go back, to try again.

0:21:380:21:49

He turned it around just by force of will and I always admire that in any

0:21:500:21:58

athlete because, in the end, it's often the defining feature between

0:21:590:21:59

winning and losing. COMMENTATOR: Dock which is down. --

0:22:000:22:12

Djokovic is down. SUE BARKER: This is me from

0:22:130:22:29

Scotland, 18 years old and dying of a brain tumour. -- Me. Judy sort of

0:22:300:22:41

it all out. She got us to get the Centre Court for all four of us. At

0:22:420:22:46

this time, her mobility was pretty poor. She and I were sat right on

0:22:470:22:51

the court. You couldn't get any closer at all. Afterwards, Judy took

0:22:520:22:57

us up to the players' lounge and Andy came through. We were sitting

0:22:580:23:02

there and he came up and he was just a really normal guy. After my first

0:23:030:23:07

round match, I met her, her brother and her parents. It's a tough thing

0:23:080:23:13

to see because I was kind of aware of the situation. She said, "I was

0:23:140:23:22

watching Roger Federer and then Maria Sharapova and then yourself

0:23:230:23:27

and you were the best". She seemed incredibly happy and brave,

0:23:280:23:31

considering everything that was happening to her. She was obviously

0:23:320:23:37

a very inspirational character, as well. I think is me really

0:23:380:23:42

appreciated speaking to him because she had been through a lot of things

0:23:430:23:48

where she had to step up and she was really determined, much like Andy. I

0:23:490:23:56

got an e-mail from her with her story saying that her time at school

0:23:570:23:59

had been so hard and all of the things she would like to achieve.

0:24:000:24:04

She had singers on the list, bands, she wanted to see busy Cairo, which

0:24:050:24:08

she did, and lots of other things that she wanted to do. -- Biffy

0:24:090:24:18

Clyro. She wanted to meet Sir Chris Hoy and she had other people that

0:24:190:24:21

she admired, like Andy, and she wanted to go to Wimbledon. It was a

0:24:220:24:26

question of trying to make that come true for her and the whole family

0:24:270:24:29

were big tennis fans so it was lovely to share that with them and

0:24:300:24:33

she was a remarkable character. You could tell that she was just blown

0:24:340:24:37

away by the whole experience, which was just lovely. Every day, we would

0:24:380:24:42

just look at what games were on and especially when Andy was playing,

0:24:430:24:47

Esme would be really excited and we would all watch the TV together.

0:24:480:24:52

That was a very positive thing to focus on and she really enjoyed it.

0:24:530:24:56

It built up and built up and was really important because in the last

0:24:570:25:01

couple of weeks, Esme was getting more and more ill so it was good to

0:25:020:25:06

have something to focus on. She knew he was in the final and by that

0:25:070:25:11

date, we knew that she didn't have long left with us and she had been

0:25:120:25:16

very ill on the Saturday and we had been told that, really, this was the

0:25:170:25:29

end of her journey. We got the papers on Sunday, as usual. There

0:25:300:25:37

was a big centre spread, a big photo of Andy, and we pinned it up in her

0:25:380:25:41

bedroom. In fact, it's still pinned up. We were all lying in her bed, in

0:25:420:25:49

her room. I got the laptop and put it on a chair in front of her bed so

0:25:500:25:54

we all watched the final and I think she was aware of what was going on,

0:25:550:25:58

definitely. SUE BARKER: Before she went, as the

0:25:590:26:05

-- Esme wanted Andy to win Wimbledon, to fight for the title.

0:26:060:26:10

She always had a dog a determination, much like Andy

0:26:110:26:13

Murray. When he's losing a match, he always manages to fight back and

0:26:140:26:18

Esme have those qualities as well. That's what a lot of people were

0:26:190:26:23

inspired by Esme four. In the face of huge adversity, she still managed

0:26:240:26:27

to enjoy life and get as much out of it as possible. I think that is the

0:26:280:26:34

legacy she has left. Esme didn't make it to the end of the final.

0:26:350:26:41

Approaching four o'clock on this Sunday afternoon in the Wimbledon

0:26:420:26:47

Men's Singles final. When we subsequently played it back, the

0:26:480:26:54

final match, it was just at the point where Andy went one game down

0:26:550:27:00

in the set but then he managed to come back and from then on, he was

0:27:010:27:07

on his way to victory. And Esme died at four o'clock and it was as if she

0:27:080:27:14

was saying, "I've done my bit, so now I'll go".

0:27:150:27:31

game of the match so far. And he finds the line once again, three

0:27:320:27:47

straight games. finds the line once again, three

0:27:480:27:51

straight Murray back in the second set. I remember at one stage

0:27:520:27:57

Djokovic making an unforced error and finding myself clapping and

0:27:580:27:59

cheering. you are not supposed to clap other

0:28:000:28:14

people's mistakes, which he was right about, and I would never

0:28:150:28:18

normally do it. And I'm sure most of the other people they wouldn't do,

0:28:190:28:22

either. But we were getting so wrapped up in the match, we couldn't

0:28:230:28:27

help ourselves. I said, I'm really sorry, but it was a big point, and

0:28:280:28:32

we have waited 77 years, and a little smile came on his face.

0:28:330:28:42

Yes! Yes! What point! Murray goes up a break in the second set, 6-5.

0:28:430:28:56

Let's just hope the man from Dunblane keeps his cool.

0:28:570:29:15

Was that emphatic or what? Two sets to Murray. He is one set away from

0:29:160:29:32

history. For the first set, we were in the paddling pool, eating

0:29:330:29:36

sandwiches and having a picnic. The second set, which what she most of

0:29:370:29:41

it and then we went back in the paddling pool -- we watched most of

0:29:420:29:48

it. And in the last set, we were in and out and in and out. I was made

0:29:490:29:56

redundant in June, and I have lots of air miles that enabled me to be

0:29:570:30:01

with my grandson on his birthday, because he was born on July the 4th.

0:30:020:30:06

They already have a trip to Niagara booked for his birthday present. I

0:30:070:30:12

realised that we would then be travelling back during the men's

0:30:130:30:19

final, and I was a bit upset. I'm not such a massive sports fan that

0:30:200:30:22

I'm going to put that in front of my family, but I wanted both. We were

0:30:230:30:29

all here. It was a sunny day, we had a barbecue later. We said, come

0:30:300:30:37

round and watch Wimbledon with us. Come round and watch a bit of it.

0:30:380:30:42

And there we were watching it on the big screen, and we couldn't believe

0:30:430:30:46

it. That we could have a power cut on such a big occasion. And then

0:30:470:30:51

these geniuses thought of watching it on the phone, which I wouldn't

0:30:520:30:59

have dreams of doing. I looked to see if it was on the TV, and it was.

0:31:000:31:06

We watched some more over breakfast, and then we went to the train, and I

0:31:070:31:12

was able to watch it on my phone. That was my only option. I was on

0:31:130:31:21

vacation, so it was the real thing, it was following all the match, and

0:31:220:31:26

life was good and I was able to what for a moment yes, for a moment not,

0:31:270:31:32

I was on the boat so I was not able to see all of it. It depended on

0:31:330:31:41

where I was, so I was able to see some moment. The power went out just

0:31:420:31:45

before the third set, and we eventually figured out that we could

0:31:460:31:48

watch it on a phone, and we looked at what we had. The only phone with

0:31:490:31:57

3G has 10% battery left on it. We were trying to figure out the right

0:31:580:32:04

time to watch it. So we are thinking, come on, Andy, at least do

0:32:050:32:12

it for the battery runs out! Has he won this battle? Absolutely not, far

0:32:130:32:19

from it. Djokovic is number one because he will never give up. My

0:32:200:32:28

mum is very famous for making her home-made shortbread. You heard that

0:32:290:32:32

Chris Hoy was ducking into the short read. My brother started passing

0:32:330:32:38

this tin of short and around. I think everyone need a pick me up.

0:32:390:32:46

This tin was getting passed around, and I realised how much of a family

0:32:470:32:54

occasion this was. I just looked and didn't say anything, because for me

0:32:550:32:59

it was like, we are not on a picnic. This is serious! And you have

0:33:000:33:04

relaxed because you think he is good to win now, and you are handing out

0:33:050:33:10

shortbread. I was secretly fuming, but I do remember that very clearly,

0:33:110:33:14

thinking, it is never over until it's over. Third set. This happened

0:33:150:33:29

at the U.S. Open, he was two sets up, lost the next, and it went to a

0:33:300:33:36

fifth and he did it, so he has done it before. Please let this be the

0:33:370:33:40

day, because we know how desperate he was to win this for the country,

0:33:410:33:44

for Britain, for us, for Dunblane, for every body.

0:33:450:34:10

Once the game got under way, Andy had the first couple of sets under

0:34:110:34:17

his belt, I thought that was it. This is a break point, the ball was

0:34:180:34:23

called good. Did it float long? Oh, yes! Murray is on his way, already a

0:34:240:34:35

break up in sets number three. Djokovic is an amazing player. There

0:34:360:34:40

is always a chance that he will pull something out of the bag, put a few

0:34:410:34:44

games together. But Murray did seem calm for most of it.

0:34:450:34:51

And the ball is wide! The linesman's arm goes out, and the man

0:34:520:34:58

is back in. This is desperate stuff now.

0:34:590:35:12

All of a sudden, Murray seems slightly out of sorts stop I felt

0:35:130:35:21

like I had several occasions in the match that I could turn it around,

0:35:220:35:23

and I felt physically fine. It is hellish. You feel really bad

0:35:240:35:37

for your son. It is difficult to see, because you know he is hurting,

0:35:380:35:46

and so are we. It has all gone south in the last 15 minutes for Andy

0:35:470:35:52

Murray. Roy is the most mild-mannered of people, but when he

0:35:530:35:55

is watching his grandson play tennis, he is a transformation! And

0:35:560:36:01

suddenly, he has lost four games in a row, and here is Djokovic serving

0:36:020:36:07

at 4-2. I know exactly how he should lay each shot and win each match.

0:36:080:36:12

APPLAUSE I have been known to disappear into

0:36:130:36:20

the kitchen and watch it on the small television when I can't take

0:36:210:36:21

any more. I would love to be able to enjoy it

0:36:220:36:32

more, I really would, but it has got more stressful with the expectation.

0:36:330:36:48

I have lots of respect because it is an individual sport where everything

0:36:490:36:56

is on your shoulders. If you lose, you lose, that is it. If you lose,

0:36:570:36:58

you fail. Tennis is only them. He has made it down the line! What a

0:36:590:37:24

wonderful forehand. A lesser person would have crumbled and said, I

0:37:250:37:28

can't do it. The occasion is too much, it is too much of a burden,

0:37:290:37:32

the nation is weighing down on my shoulders, I'm sorry. But he didn't,

0:37:330:37:35

and it was just an amazing moment. And the crowd was just so up for it.

0:37:360:37:58

It is two weeks of the year where tennis is suddenly the most

0:37:590:38:01

important thing in the world, and I think that's amazing.

0:38:020:38:12

I think that may have been the point where I was behind the city, --

0:38:130:38:35

behind the sofa, peering over the top. The sheer will and

0:38:360:38:40

determination to get to that ball before it bounces twice.

0:38:410:38:55

I think Andy made something amazing that day. Everybody forgot he was

0:38:560:39:02

Scottish, and everybody saw that he was British. The whole UK was behind

0:39:030:39:10

him. I remembered just before he served out for the match, everybody

0:39:110:39:16

chanting, Andy, Andy, Andy! It was more Davis Cup the Wimbledon final.

0:39:170:39:22

When I got on stage, I remember that the Wimbledon final was going on

0:39:230:39:30

right now, and I randomly throughout the set could hear cheering, but I

0:39:310:39:38

had no idea what the score was, so I was hoping it was good.

0:39:390:39:45

He's serving for the match! A lot of people had been shouting, he is

0:39:460:39:50

going to win, he is going to win. I said, we need to all focus on the TV

0:39:510:39:54

and see what is happening. I'm not sure what to do here. I'm in

0:39:550:40:00

two minds. Why have I got a gig to do? You guys can keep me informed.

0:40:010:40:08

When I came out to serve for the match, I didn't feel too bad. I was

0:40:090:40:14

expecting myself to feel awful, and I think sometimes when you build

0:40:150:40:17

something up in your head so much, when you actually get to that

0:40:180:40:20

moment, it is not as bad as you think. Djokovic is out and ready as

0:40:210:40:27

Andy Murray looks to put 77 years of hurt behind British tennis. That

0:40:280:40:35

last game was absolute torture. I could hear my heart. He said after

0:40:360:40:42

the match that he felt that if he lost that game, he could easily lose

0:40:430:40:46

the set and maybe the match. He should have told me that during, not

0:40:470:40:54

after! Andy Murray taking his time coming out to serve for Wimbledon. I

0:40:550:41:01

will never forget that last game. It was an absolute blur. This was the

0:41:020:41:06

be all and end all. It was win or nothing. You couldn't hear anything

0:41:070:41:12

because everyone was just hanging in there.

0:41:130:41:26

CHEERING One down, three to go.

0:41:270:41:36

Let's get that first serve working right now. Often his left arm gets a

0:41:370:41:44

bit tight and he doesn't throw the ball up high enough, and I was just

0:41:450:41:49

thinking, throw it up, throw it up. Just crack it and it won't come

0:41:500:41:51

back. When it got to 40-0, I was thinking,

0:41:520:42:59

we just need one serve, we just need one serve not to come back. And all

0:43:000:43:05

I am thinking at that stage is ace, ace, ace. I just think he deserves

0:43:060:43:15

this. I remember he went, 40-0 up, which is brilliant, he is going to

0:43:160:43:19

walk it from here. He has three chances, three championship points.

0:43:200:43:49

Djokovic not giving in just yet. Point number three.

0:43:500:44:22

For de-0. For de-0. And the next thing, it's deuce. Can't believe it.

0:44:230:44:33

In a blink, it seemed like it was deuces. "this isn't real, this can't

0:44:340:44:44

happen". At 40-0 up, you think he's going to do it. But this guy just

0:44:450:44:48

wouldn't go away. The pressure was clearly getting to

0:44:490:45:14

me. On of the court, I went to pick up my towel and my arm was shaking

0:45:150:45:20

and I knew that I was in trouble if I couldn't finish that game. It

0:45:210:45:23

could have got quite ugly. I was sitting at the edge of the coffee

0:45:240:45:27

table by this time. I was practically on the set!

0:45:280:45:41

One minute I was wanting to cry, the next minute I felt sick, and next

0:45:420:45:48

minute it was hot, you were thirsty and there were so many emotions, it

0:45:490:45:50

was like a roller-coaster. # Lets go, Andy, let's go

0:45:510:45:57

# Come on, Andy, come on #. Andy, put it back! Oh! You lucky

0:45:580:46:30

salt! Jamey! The longer it went on, there was a feeling that this could

0:46:310:46:34

be the turning point of the match. If Andy doesn't win the set and win

0:46:350:46:38

the match, there's a good chance Djokovic good comeback into it. It

0:46:390:46:41

would have gone down as the biggest joke in history. You start to think,

0:46:420:46:51

what if this all goes ugly and you've been two sets up an three

0:46:520:46:55

match points and you lose it and you don't regroup. As a parent, you're

0:46:560:47:02

always thinking, "I might have to do a whole load of rescuing here. This

0:47:030:47:04

is going to be really tricky". CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:47:050:47:47

Soaking up the pressure. He is going to collapse if he gets through the

0:47:480:47:52

game. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. This is the boy digging deep. I

0:47:530:47:55

literally couldn't breathe after some of these points. Sporting

0:47:560:47:58

immortality doesn't come easily. This is reaching new heights. We

0:47:590:48:21

talk about physical prowess but it's emotional prowess as well. He stayed

0:48:220:48:26

in control. It's another break point. Murray has had three

0:48:270:48:33

championship points. He had 40-0 in this game.

0:48:340:48:38

Any point will do. Any point will do. That was Boris. It's funny. He

0:48:390:50:31

is now coaching Novak. UMPIRE: Game, set and match,

0:50:320:50:40

Murray! The waiting is over. Andy Murray is the Wimbledon

0:50:410:50:50

champion. He's won Wimbledon! everyone was saying, "look, look,

0:50:510:51:12

your son has just won Wimbledon. You've got to look". A massive cheer

0:51:130:51:17

went up and I knew exactly why. He had won.

0:51:180:51:25

I may have welled up a touch. I can't remember exactly. I think I

0:51:260:51:36

lost a bit of my voice that day. I am not embarrassed to admit I got

0:51:370:51:41

very emotional. I went to the bar and I was like, " give me loads of

0:51:420:51:47

shots, " had loads of shots to celebrate and was like, "this is the

0:51:480:51:56

best hen do ever. This is amazing!" Our daughter was born. The midwife

0:51:570:52:01

passed her over and said, "you have a daughter," and Sheila to me and

0:52:020:52:05

smiled and said, by the way, Andy Murray won. I just relaxed. He's

0:52:060:52:19

just won Wimbledon! He's done it! He's done it! We were jumping up as

0:52:200:52:28

best we can. " Right, that's it, we're down to the sports club". The

0:52:290:52:33

atmosphere was amazing. They were all cheering and stamping their

0:52:340:52:37

feet. Certain things will just live with me for ever. Very difficult to

0:52:380:52:44

put into words, I've got to say. Without bursting into tears! I sat

0:52:450:52:51

down after I'd celebrated on the court and I asked the referee if I

0:52:520:52:55

had time to go out to the side of the court and for me, it was quite

0:52:560:53:00

nice because on my way up, John McEnroe was in his commentary booth

0:53:010:53:03

and to see him there as soon as I had finished was pretty cool. The

0:53:040:53:07

first person I went to was Ivan Lendl. He came up and shook hands

0:53:080:53:17

and gave everybody a high five. I didn't get to see my family much

0:53:180:53:20

because they were all sitting on the rows behind so I couldn't reach them

0:53:210:53:26

and my uncle, who was three rows bind, just behind Chris Hoy, and I

0:53:270:53:33

saw it back and he was leaning over and you could see the sweaty armpits

0:53:340:53:36

and he was robbing them on Chris Hoy's head. -- robbing them on Chris

0:53:370:53:44

Hawley's head as he was reaching over. I said, "don't forget your

0:53:450:53:52

mum!" I don't know if it was somebody in Novak's box. I thought

0:53:530:53:59

I'd better walk down and he went, " oh, hi, Mum". That was just like

0:54:000:54:04

him, like he'd just come in from work or something. And it is

0:54:050:54:09

wonderful that she is congratulated by the parents of the man that her

0:54:100:54:14

son congratulated in the final. I've known them since the kids were 12 or

0:54:150:54:18

13. We went through the whole thing together. We know what it's like. I

0:54:190:54:23

know that they will have been gutted but every single one of them came

0:54:240:54:27

over and said congratulations and gave me a hug. Regardless of losing

0:54:280:54:32

that much, I enjoyed it, being part of a very special moment for British

0:54:330:54:38

tennis, for Andy. He deserved to win that match. He was a better player.

0:54:390:54:45

What's amazing about him, he's such a class act. I know he's genuinely

0:54:460:54:50

happy for Murray and for Britain. He is disappointed that he lost but he

0:54:510:54:54

gets how important this is to Britain and to Scotland and to Andy

0:54:550:54:58

Murray. He's like that. He's an amazing dude. I loved it when Andy

0:54:590:55:06

had the trophy and you could see him looking at it and treasuring it so

0:55:070:55:12

much and then you dropped the lid! I was trying to look at some of the

0:55:130:55:18

names on it and the list came off. I went and saw him in the locker room

0:55:190:55:22

afterwards and I remember giving him a hug and saying, "I just don't know

0:55:230:55:27

how you did that, " and Andy looked at me and said, "I don't know

0:55:280:55:32

either". He was literally in a state of shock. The atmosphere was just

0:55:330:55:38

unreal and then we got a phone call from Andy. But we couldn't hear it

0:55:390:55:48

for the noise! I said, "there is a terrific party going on here. The

0:55:490:55:52

whole of Dunblane is thrilled for you, " and that kind of thing. He

0:55:530:55:59

said, "thanks, Gran. Are you all right?" And I said, " yeah,

0:56:000:56:04

absolutely fine". 30 minutes after the match, it all just hit me. I was

0:56:050:56:10

so tired. We were all up on the grass pit of the players' lounge and

0:56:110:56:14

everyone was drinking champagne and taking photos and I got this message

0:56:150:56:20

from you saying, "come down and say hi, " because you were stuck down

0:56:210:56:24

stairs. In two hours, you've got to be at the Wimbledon ball. How does

0:56:250:56:30

that happen? There's no time to go home and change. "Oh, that's not a

0:56:310:56:34

problem, you go down to the locker room and there is an Aladdin's Cave

0:56:350:56:38

of clothes and shoes and hairstylists". Auntie Judy said,

0:56:390:56:44

"oh, no, I have to go and get changed for the Wimbledon ball". So

0:56:450:56:52

we volunteered to help. We had forgotten all about it. I was

0:56:530:56:59

thinking I had nothing to wear. I didn't realise at that stage that

0:57:000:57:02

the people fit you out. I was whisked away for that. I think it

was after a meal that Judy and I were getting our photograph taken

0:57:090:57:12

with the gold trophy and people wondered who it was with the trophy

0:57:130:57:15

and then they started to applaud, which was lovely. We went to Andy's

0:57:160:57:23

table and he saw us and he got up and gave us a hug and that was very

0:57:240:57:29

emotional. To have me and my brother having both won a Wimbledon title,

0:57:300:57:33

it was just great to have them there. It was a nice photo and a

0:57:340:57:39

nice moment for all of us. And it is actually in our downstairs loo!

0:57:400:57:46

That's nice. Four or five days after Wimbledon finished, I went back to

0:57:470:57:51

Wimbledon to see Centre Court. There was no one there, it was completely

0:57:520:57:56

empty. I just walked around the court. There were no security

0:57:570:58:02

guards, groundsman, nothing. I took my phone and I filmed what, in my

0:58:030:58:06

mind, was how the last point played out. Any points will do.

0:58:070:58:17

With, obviously, no rackets or balls or nets or anything. And that was

0:58:180:58:30

it. I was like, "my cousin is one of the best tennis players in the

0:58:310:58:34

world," and then I never thought about it for a while because I was

0:58:350:58:37

thinking of what I was going to have for lunch.
