out and ready as Andy Murray looks to put 77 years of hurt behind | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
British tennis. It was the day last year when Andy | 0:00:28 | 0:00:35 | |
Murray made asleep our seats. -- made us leap from our seats. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
Murray made asleep our seats. -- made us It was the greatest moment | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
in my sporting life. This was it. It was this or nothing. You don't have | 0:00:47 | 0:00:53 | |
a Scottish Wimbledon finalist everyday. A huge moment for Great | 0:00:54 | 0:01:01 | |
Britain, for Andy, and for our sport. It is not every day a | 0:01:02 | 0:01:08 | |
Scotsman can clear the street and put the nation through the mill of | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
the emotions. When he won, I screamed. Everyone was hugging each | 0:01:16 | 0:01:26 | |
other. This build-up of years of watching him and thinking, it is | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
going to be today. Wonderful stuff. He is eating deep. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:42 | |
# Go, Andy, go, Andy! There are so many other people at | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
their hoping that you can do it. It is a good thing I am not thinking | 0:01:48 | 0:01:56 | |
about that one I am serving. I would love to be able to enjoy it more, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
but it has got more stressful with the expectation. My boy has just won | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
Wimbledon. It doesn't seem right. It is surreal. He is just a boy who is | 0:02:07 | 0:02:14 | |
really, really good laying tennis and wants nothing more than to make | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
us happy. It emotionally involved the entire nation, whether you liked | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
tennis or not. Still special, one year on. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:39 | |
It is amazing how many people camp outside. People have been camping | 0:02:40 | 0:02:47 | |
out all night at Wimbledon ahead of the Men's Singles final when Andy | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Murray takes on Novak Djokovic. I remember someone saying to me on | 0:02:51 | 0:03:02 | |
the morning of the final, did you actually cook for him the night | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
before, and I was offended cos there is nothing wrong with my cooking and | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
I think they were afraid he was going to get food poisoning or | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
something. I remember getting up very early and thinking of 12 months | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
previously when he had been in his first final. The support has been | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
incredible, so thank you. When you have gone through it once before, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
you are a bit better prepared for what is going to happen. It took a | 0:03:29 | 0:03:35 | |
long time between ten o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
afternoon. It was a fair length of time to fill-in. I had deliberately | 0:03:41 | 0:03:47 | |
elected to go down and help with the open golf competition at the golf | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
club, and I thought that will take care of a big chunk of the morning. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
I was embarrassed when the men were coming up to register, and I was | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
saying, no, I won't be back in time for the match. It was touching that | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
they were ahead to give up their golf to go and watch it. I thought, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:13 | |
please have a good game today. That day, the morning was beautiful, and | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
I went and did a bit of shopping. I sat in the garden, was getting | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
prepared to watch it on TV, and my husband happened to come out into | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
the garden, and I said, we are going to Dunblane. And he said, what? We | 0:04:28 | 0:04:36 | |
had tennis whites, tennis rackets, tennis balls, so that we could go, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:45 | |
new balls, please! It was on our schedule that we would be having | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
champagne, watching the tennis and having tapas. And it worked. Rather | 0:04:49 | 0:04:58 | |
than deciding to drive up on a Saturday night, we booked some train | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
tickets and decided that we would go and camp on the queue. You get up | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
about half past five and have to pack up your tent, and then they | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
start moving around along the queue, and you get to the front of the | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
queue at half past ten, and then they release you and you make your | 0:05:16 | 0:05:23 | |
way in. It was a beautiful morning, and I decided to go out for a run to | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
pass the time. The rest of it is a blur after that. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
I had the fortune of being in touch with Judy Murray, and she said, let | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
me know if you want tickets. I said, I am free on Sunday. And she said, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:46 | |
do come down. I had full belief that he could get there, but I didn't | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
want to say too much. I think I spend most of the morning trying to | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
cord a native of body. I remember having to organise a lot of tickets | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
at the last minute. My phone was jammed with people saying, I don't | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
suppose you can get me a ticket? After the semifinal, I sent heretic | 0:06:04 | 0:06:11 | |
it sink in -- a message saying congratulations, and she said, the | 0:06:12 | 0:06:18 | |
offer is still there. SUE BARKER: The tension is building here, and | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
the Men's Singles finalist at a few minutes away. It is Andy Murray | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
against Novak Djokovic, blue skies all the way here, the hottest day of | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
the year. And therein Dunblane in Scotland, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:41 | |
Andy's hometown, crowds have gathered to watch their famous son. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
They are all at the Dunblane Centre, cheering him on. Everybody was | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
standing there, and there were a few people laughing, they had masks on, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
said there was a bit of excitement. SUE BARKER: The eyes of a nation are | 0:06:57 | 0:07:05 | |
all on Centre Court, that famous piece of grass, 78 feet long, 36 | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
feet wide. It has seen it all over the years, but it is not witnessed a | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
British Midland's singles winner for generations. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:22 | |
What a pleasure it is to be here this afternoon at such a beautiful | 0:07:23 | 0:07:32 | |
festival. We set off the day before from a place in Switzerland. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
We had a really long drive to get back to the UK to take part in the | 0:07:37 | 0:07:47 | |
quandary music Festival. I didn't want to leave the house, but then we | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
started to play a really fun game in the paddling pool. I can remember | 0:07:52 | 0:07:57 | |
being at home, all my family were there. I had a friend down from | 0:07:58 | 0:08:06 | |
Leeds. We were building a shared. I was really disappointed that my | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
stage time fell right in the middle of the final, so I resigned myself | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
to the fact that I wouldn't be able to see any of it. Which was a total | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
shame, because you don't have a Scottish Wimbledon finalist every | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
day. What an amazing time to do a set. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:33 | |
Not! We went in the pool, and I did bellyflop it really hurt. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:42 | |
The possibility of having a number one, I had been in and done the | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
interview, and it got down to number three. And then number two was | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
played, and I thought, I am either not at the top 40, or I am number | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
one. # I need to know, need-to-know... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:08 | |
And everybody was going, it's the Andy Murray game! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:16 | |
# I need to know now... As soon is he walked out, it was | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
just an uproar. That was my son, walking on to court | 0:09:20 | 0:09:30 | |
to play in a Wimbledon final again. Great feeling. You are so used to | 0:09:31 | 0:09:37 | |
walking out with your racket bag. How does it feel to have someone | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
carry it? It is nice. He looked like he was struggling. He was laden down | 0:09:44 | 0:09:53 | |
with so many bags. No matter where you are, in Wimbledon or watching on | 0:09:54 | 0:10:00 | |
television or whatever, there is something gladiatorial going on. It | 0:10:01 | 0:10:08 | |
is a dream tournament for me, a tournament that has given me so much | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
motivation to become a professional tennis player. It is one of those | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
moments where you feel like you are experiencing an out of body | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
experience. You have that sense that there is something greater than just | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
a tennis match. First time at Wimbledon, walking on before the | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
game even started, the atmosphere was incredible. It was amazing just | 0:10:31 | 0:10:39 | |
to experience that. What a time. I have competed in many sporting | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
events myself, but it was unique. This feeling that 99.99% of people | 0:10:44 | 0:10:50 | |
in this arena wanted Andy to win. I think the others were sitting right | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
in front of me, Djokovic's family and friends. We had to shift to | 0:10:54 | 0:11:00 | |
another side, which meant we were mixed in with some of his | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
supporters, so I removed myself from that side and moved further back, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
because there is nothing worse than sitting there with somebody else's | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
supporters shouting against your child. They don't but on the | 0:11:12 | 0:11:19 | |
television before a big match, because all of the build-up makes | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
you feel really nervous. We don't allow anyone to watch Andy's matches | 0:11:23 | 0:11:30 | |
while we are watching it. It is too dangerous. It is quintessentially | 0:11:31 | 0:11:39 | |
British. I love the etiquette, the outfits, the strawberries and cream, | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
the emotions that people feel together, united. All the things we | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
are not normally as British people. I was glued to the TV from early | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
morning watching the build-up. We were right here as we are. She was | 0:11:55 | 0:12:01 | |
one week off her due date, no real pressure that day, so I could sit | 0:12:02 | 0:12:02 | |
and relax and watch the tennis. the rest of the country, willing | 0:12:03 | 0:12:21 | |
Andy on. Tension was building in other areas, I think it's fair to | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
say! I was glued to the screen and even walked in and said it was game | 0:12:28 | 0:12:36 | |
on. I said, " I know, I'm watching". I said, no, the baby is coming, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:44 | |
let's get to the hospital". We were quite calm about the baby. But I was | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
panicking I was going to miss the final games. It was electric, it was | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
excitement, it was tension. I remember the first point that he | 0:12:55 | 0:13:09 | |
won in the first game of the first set. A massive shout. It was the | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
kind of show you would expect for a team scoring a home goal in a cup | 0:13:16 | 0:13:22 | |
final. That will live with me. How strong the crowd were for him and he | 0:13:23 | 0:13:23 | |
felt it, too. I've doesn't look any different. He | 0:13:24 | 0:13:43 | |
was so nervous that day, trust me. -- Evander Lendl. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:53 | |
I watched him on the Jonathan Russell Shows some months after | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
Wimbledon and he was reminded of a problem he'd had with his shoe. -- | 0:13:59 | 0:14:07 | |
Jonathan Ross Show. I didn't remember it. I didn't remember him | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
having a problem with his shoe. I didn't remember hardly anything | 0:14:12 | 0:14:12 | |
about it! COMMENTATOR: So, five straight | 0:14:13 | 0:14:22 | |
points. The top seed winces only service came from zero item 40. All | 0:14:23 | 0:14:29 | |
senses are heightened to everybody in this great theatre of Centre | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
Court. We were the first game of the first set and I got a phone call | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
from my mother and she said that my father had gone out on his motorbike | 0:14:39 | 0:14:45 | |
and he was stuck in a hedge. I thought, why has he gone out the | 0:14:46 | 0:14:55 | |
house? The Wimbledon final was an! I said, I can't watch it. The tension | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
is too much. I'm going for a run on the bike and I'll come back later. I | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
went round a bend and the wheel hit a great and bounced up. I crossed a | 0:15:05 | 0:15:11 | |
road over a bit of grass and straight into the hedge. They got me | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
into the ambulance and I said I was all right. Susan came up in the car, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
picked me up and walked me back. My daughter and my wife were quite | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
upset at missing it and it was my fault because I should have sat | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
there and watched it instead of being squeamish and running off! | 0:15:30 | 0:15:36 | |
Everybody was in the bar with the same agenda, watching Wimbledon, | 0:15:37 | 0:15:47 | |
hoping Andy Murray was going to win. I was secretly thinking, "please win | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
and don't ruin the evening, " because it might have put a damper | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
on it. It was very tense. We were in a high-spirited mood and when we sat | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
down and started watching the Magic got serious. Come on, Murray EX | 0:16:03 | 0:16:14 | |
microkernel it! -- come on, Murray! Kill it. You want a television like | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
that. My wife nearly had a nervous break down. The crowd can't believe | 0:16:21 | 0:16:27 | |
what they're ceiling. It did go deadly silent on the big shots at | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
the end of each set. It was really quiet. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:39 | |
COMMENTATOR: He didn't miss that one! Very determined. He's always | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
been that way since he was a little lad and he still is. When you see | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
the work he's put in, you understand the type of individual he is because | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
it doesn't come easy to achieve that success. | 0:16:55 | 0:17:17 | |
He is a third of the way there. Andy Murray wins the first set. It was a | 0:17:18 | 0:17:25 | |
quick game. I served well. That was good for the nerves. The camera goes | 0:17:26 | 0:17:33 | |
into the box and I can see everyone's faces. It's actually not | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
very nice for me to see because, obviously, they are so stressed and | 0:17:39 | 0:17:45 | |
nervous. I maintain some signs that watching it is actually worse than | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
playing because you have no control over what is going on at all. Yeah, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
sure(!) But you won't watch your brother play because you get so | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
nervous so to an extent, you know what it feels like. At the end of | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
the first set, I thought, only two sets to go. No problem. He's playing | 0:18:04 | 0:18:11 | |
well. Two sets to go. On finals day, if you can't get near the front | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
of the queue, you won't get in for the first set but then they start | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
selling the resale tickets and there is a chance you could get offered a | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
seat so I ran in and get fifth and 11th in the queue, which is | 0:18:24 | 0:18:32 | |
unbelievable. Whenever Murray played Djokovic and lost the first set, | 0:18:33 | 0:18:38 | |
he's never won the match. The second set start and now I'm starting to | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
wonder whether we're going to get tickets. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:48 | |
All of sudden, a whole group of tickets come up and her words were, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:55 | |
"you won't be returning this one those quote. He said that I had got | 0:18:56 | 0:19:05 | |
a debenture seat and he said that they were the only seats that were | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
available for resale and I would have an amazing view. I walked up | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
the stairs and the atmosphere was just incredible. Hairs on the back | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
of my neck stood up. You just feel the energy. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:26 | |
It can be overwhelming in that situation. You don't have anyone to | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
share that load with all that pressure. It's just with you. I | 0:19:33 | 0:19:39 | |
personally found it very tense, very exciting. Just an edge. Just how he | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
was feeling, actually. COMMENTATOR: This is world-class | 0:19:44 | 0:20:04 | |
fitting. It's an error from Murray. Djokovic has got a different look | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
about him than he did 20 minutes ago. He's a hell of a player and | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
there is no way he would give up. They're two determined young guys | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
and you would expect him to fight back at some stage. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:29 | |
I didn't think he had a chance. I thought Djokovic would beat him. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:36 | |
Djokovic is an extraordinary athlete. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
That was naughty. It was going Djokovic's way and I remember | 0:20:42 | 0:20:50 | |
thinking, " my goodness! Please, this can't go wrong". My heart sank | 0:20:51 | 0:20:58 | |
and I wondered if this was going to be the turning point. To be sitting | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
on finals day on the biggest court in the world is something else but | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
we were all nervous as well and it was quite tough to try and act the | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
same. It's a little bit tense. He probably | 0:21:12 | 0:21:32 | |
realised that this was the turning point. If he had lost that, it would | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
have been very difficult to go back, to try again. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:49 | |
He turned it around just by force of will and I always admire that in any | 0:21:50 | 0:21:58 | |
athlete because, in the end, it's often the defining feature between | 0:21:59 | 0:21:59 | |
winning and losing. COMMENTATOR: Dock which is down. -- | 0:22:00 | 0:22:12 | |
Djokovic is down. SUE BARKER: This is me from | 0:22:13 | 0:22:29 | |
Scotland, 18 years old and dying of a brain tumour. -- Me. Judy sort of | 0:22:30 | 0:22:41 | |
it all out. She got us to get the Centre Court for all four of us. At | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
this time, her mobility was pretty poor. She and I were sat right on | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
the court. You couldn't get any closer at all. Afterwards, Judy took | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
us up to the players' lounge and Andy came through. We were sitting | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
there and he came up and he was just a really normal guy. After my first | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
round match, I met her, her brother and her parents. It's a tough thing | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
to see because I was kind of aware of the situation. She said, "I was | 0:23:14 | 0:23:22 | |
watching Roger Federer and then Maria Sharapova and then yourself | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
and you were the best". She seemed incredibly happy and brave, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
considering everything that was happening to her. She was obviously | 0:23:32 | 0:23:37 | |
a very inspirational character, as well. I think is me really | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
appreciated speaking to him because she had been through a lot of things | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
where she had to step up and she was really determined, much like Andy. I | 0:23:49 | 0:23:56 | |
got an e-mail from her with her story saying that her time at school | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
had been so hard and all of the things she would like to achieve. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
She had singers on the list, bands, she wanted to see busy Cairo, which | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
she did, and lots of other things that she wanted to do. -- Biffy | 0:24:09 | 0:24:18 | |
Clyro. She wanted to meet Sir Chris Hoy and she had other people that | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
she admired, like Andy, and she wanted to go to Wimbledon. It was a | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
question of trying to make that come true for her and the whole family | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
were big tennis fans so it was lovely to share that with them and | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
she was a remarkable character. You could tell that she was just blown | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
away by the whole experience, which was just lovely. Every day, we would | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
just look at what games were on and especially when Andy was playing, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
Esme would be really excited and we would all watch the TV together. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
That was a very positive thing to focus on and she really enjoyed it. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
It built up and built up and was really important because in the last | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
couple of weeks, Esme was getting more and more ill so it was good to | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
have something to focus on. She knew he was in the final and by that | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
date, we knew that she didn't have long left with us and she had been | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
very ill on the Saturday and we had been told that, really, this was the | 0:25:17 | 0:25:29 | |
end of her journey. We got the papers on Sunday, as usual. There | 0:25:30 | 0:25:37 | |
was a big centre spread, a big photo of Andy, and we pinned it up in her | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
bedroom. In fact, it's still pinned up. We were all lying in her bed, in | 0:25:42 | 0:25:49 | |
her room. I got the laptop and put it on a chair in front of her bed so | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
we all watched the final and I think she was aware of what was going on, | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
definitely. SUE BARKER: Before she went, as the | 0:25:59 | 0:26:05 | |
-- Esme wanted Andy to win Wimbledon, to fight for the title. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
She always had a dog a determination, much like Andy | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
Murray. When he's losing a match, he always manages to fight back and | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
Esme have those qualities as well. That's what a lot of people were | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
inspired by Esme four. In the face of huge adversity, she still managed | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
to enjoy life and get as much out of it as possible. I think that is the | 0:26:28 | 0:26:34 | |
legacy she has left. Esme didn't make it to the end of the final. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:41 | |
Approaching four o'clock on this Sunday afternoon in the Wimbledon | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |
Men's Singles final. When we subsequently played it back, the | 0:26:48 | 0:26:54 | |
final match, it was just at the point where Andy went one game down | 0:26:55 | 0:27:00 | |
in the set but then he managed to come back and from then on, he was | 0:27:01 | 0:27:07 | |
on his way to victory. And Esme died at four o'clock and it was as if she | 0:27:08 | 0:27:14 | |
was saying, "I've done my bit, so now I'll go". | 0:27:15 | 0:27:31 | |
game of the match so far. And he finds the line once again, three | 0:27:32 | 0:27:47 | |
straight games. finds the line once again, three | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
straight Murray back in the second set. I remember at one stage | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
Djokovic making an unforced error and finding myself clapping and | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
cheering. you are not supposed to clap other | 0:28:00 | 0:28:14 | |
people's mistakes, which he was right about, and I would never | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
normally do it. And I'm sure most of the other people they wouldn't do, | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
either. But we were getting so wrapped up in the match, we couldn't | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
help ourselves. I said, I'm really sorry, but it was a big point, and | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
we have waited 77 years, and a little smile came on his face. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:42 | |
Yes! Yes! What point! Murray goes up a break in the second set, 6-5. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:56 | |
Let's just hope the man from Dunblane keeps his cool. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:15 | |
Was that emphatic or what? Two sets to Murray. He is one set away from | 0:29:16 | 0:29:32 | |
history. For the first set, we were in the paddling pool, eating | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
sandwiches and having a picnic. The second set, which what she most of | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
it and then we went back in the paddling pool -- we watched most of | 0:29:42 | 0:29:48 | |
it. And in the last set, we were in and out and in and out. I was made | 0:29:49 | 0:29:56 | |
redundant in June, and I have lots of air miles that enabled me to be | 0:29:57 | 0:30:01 | |
with my grandson on his birthday, because he was born on July the 4th. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:06 | |
They already have a trip to Niagara booked for his birthday present. I | 0:30:07 | 0:30:12 | |
realised that we would then be travelling back during the men's | 0:30:13 | 0:30:19 | |
final, and I was a bit upset. I'm not such a massive sports fan that | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
I'm going to put that in front of my family, but I wanted both. We were | 0:30:23 | 0:30:29 | |
all here. It was a sunny day, we had a barbecue later. We said, come | 0:30:30 | 0:30:37 | |
round and watch Wimbledon with us. Come round and watch a bit of it. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
And there we were watching it on the big screen, and we couldn't believe | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
it. That we could have a power cut on such a big occasion. And then | 0:30:47 | 0:30:51 | |
these geniuses thought of watching it on the phone, which I wouldn't | 0:30:52 | 0:30:59 | |
have dreams of doing. I looked to see if it was on the TV, and it was. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:06 | |
We watched some more over breakfast, and then we went to the train, and I | 0:31:07 | 0:31:12 | |
was able to watch it on my phone. That was my only option. I was on | 0:31:13 | 0:31:21 | |
vacation, so it was the real thing, it was following all the match, and | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
life was good and I was able to what for a moment yes, for a moment not, | 0:31:27 | 0:31:32 | |
I was on the boat so I was not able to see all of it. It depended on | 0:31:33 | 0:31:41 | |
where I was, so I was able to see some moment. The power went out just | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
before the third set, and we eventually figured out that we could | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
watch it on a phone, and we looked at what we had. The only phone with | 0:31:49 | 0:31:57 | |
3G has 10% battery left on it. We were trying to figure out the right | 0:31:58 | 0:32:04 | |
time to watch it. So we are thinking, come on, Andy, at least do | 0:32:05 | 0:32:12 | |
it for the battery runs out! Has he won this battle? Absolutely not, far | 0:32:13 | 0:32:19 | |
from it. Djokovic is number one because he will never give up. My | 0:32:20 | 0:32:28 | |
mum is very famous for making her home-made shortbread. You heard that | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
Chris Hoy was ducking into the short read. My brother started passing | 0:32:33 | 0:32:38 | |
this tin of short and around. I think everyone need a pick me up. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:46 | |
This tin was getting passed around, and I realised how much of a family | 0:32:47 | 0:32:54 | |
occasion this was. I just looked and didn't say anything, because for me | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
it was like, we are not on a picnic. This is serious! And you have | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
relaxed because you think he is good to win now, and you are handing out | 0:33:05 | 0:33:10 | |
shortbread. I was secretly fuming, but I do remember that very clearly, | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
thinking, it is never over until it's over. Third set. This happened | 0:33:15 | 0:33:29 | |
at the U.S. Open, he was two sets up, lost the next, and it went to a | 0:33:30 | 0:33:36 | |
fifth and he did it, so he has done it before. Please let this be the | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
day, because we know how desperate he was to win this for the country, | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
for Britain, for us, for Dunblane, for every body. | 0:33:45 | 0:34:10 | |
Once the game got under way, Andy had the first couple of sets under | 0:34:11 | 0:34:17 | |
his belt, I thought that was it. This is a break point, the ball was | 0:34:18 | 0:34:23 | |
called good. Did it float long? Oh, yes! Murray is on his way, already a | 0:34:24 | 0:34:35 | |
break up in sets number three. Djokovic is an amazing player. There | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
is always a chance that he will pull something out of the bag, put a few | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
games together. But Murray did seem calm for most of it. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:51 | |
And the ball is wide! The linesman's arm goes out, and the man | 0:34:52 | 0:34:58 | |
is back in. This is desperate stuff now. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:12 | |
All of a sudden, Murray seems slightly out of sorts stop I felt | 0:35:13 | 0:35:21 | |
like I had several occasions in the match that I could turn it around, | 0:35:22 | 0:35:23 | |
and I felt physically fine. It is hellish. You feel really bad | 0:35:24 | 0:35:37 | |
for your son. It is difficult to see, because you know he is hurting, | 0:35:38 | 0:35:46 | |
and so are we. It has all gone south in the last 15 minutes for Andy | 0:35:47 | 0:35:52 | |
Murray. Roy is the most mild-mannered of people, but when he | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
is watching his grandson play tennis, he is a transformation! And | 0:35:56 | 0:36:01 | |
suddenly, he has lost four games in a row, and here is Djokovic serving | 0:36:02 | 0:36:07 | |
at 4-2. I know exactly how he should lay each shot and win each match. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:12 | |
APPLAUSE I have been known to disappear into | 0:36:13 | 0:36:20 | |
the kitchen and watch it on the small television when I can't take | 0:36:21 | 0:36:21 | |
any more. I would love to be able to enjoy it | 0:36:22 | 0:36:32 | |
more, I really would, but it has got more stressful with the expectation. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:48 | |
I have lots of respect because it is an individual sport where everything | 0:36:49 | 0:36:56 | |
is on your shoulders. If you lose, you lose, that is it. If you lose, | 0:36:57 | 0:36:58 | |
you fail. Tennis is only them. He has made it down the line! What a | 0:36:59 | 0:37:24 | |
wonderful forehand. A lesser person would have crumbled and said, I | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |
can't do it. The occasion is too much, it is too much of a burden, | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
the nation is weighing down on my shoulders, I'm sorry. But he didn't, | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
and it was just an amazing moment. And the crowd was just so up for it. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:58 | |
It is two weeks of the year where tennis is suddenly the most | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
important thing in the world, and I think that's amazing. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:12 | |
I think that may have been the point where I was behind the city, -- | 0:38:13 | 0:38:35 | |
behind the sofa, peering over the top. The sheer will and | 0:38:36 | 0:38:40 | |
determination to get to that ball before it bounces twice. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:55 | |
I think Andy made something amazing that day. Everybody forgot he was | 0:38:56 | 0:39:02 | |
Scottish, and everybody saw that he was British. The whole UK was behind | 0:39:03 | 0:39:10 | |
him. I remembered just before he served out for the match, everybody | 0:39:11 | 0:39:16 | |
chanting, Andy, Andy, Andy! It was more Davis Cup the Wimbledon final. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:22 | |
When I got on stage, I remember that the Wimbledon final was going on | 0:39:23 | 0:39:30 | |
right now, and I randomly throughout the set could hear cheering, but I | 0:39:31 | 0:39:38 | |
had no idea what the score was, so I was hoping it was good. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:45 | |
He's serving for the match! A lot of people had been shouting, he is | 0:39:46 | 0:39:50 | |
going to win, he is going to win. I said, we need to all focus on the TV | 0:39:51 | 0:39:54 | |
and see what is happening. I'm not sure what to do here. I'm in | 0:39:55 | 0:40:00 | |
two minds. Why have I got a gig to do? You guys can keep me informed. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:08 | |
When I came out to serve for the match, I didn't feel too bad. I was | 0:40:09 | 0:40:14 | |
expecting myself to feel awful, and I think sometimes when you build | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
something up in your head so much, when you actually get to that | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
moment, it is not as bad as you think. Djokovic is out and ready as | 0:40:21 | 0:40:27 | |
Andy Murray looks to put 77 years of hurt behind British tennis. That | 0:40:28 | 0:40:35 | |
last game was absolute torture. I could hear my heart. He said after | 0:40:36 | 0:40:42 | |
the match that he felt that if he lost that game, he could easily lose | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
the set and maybe the match. He should have told me that during, not | 0:40:47 | 0:40:54 | |
after! Andy Murray taking his time coming out to serve for Wimbledon. I | 0:40:55 | 0:41:01 | |
will never forget that last game. It was an absolute blur. This was the | 0:41:02 | 0:41:06 | |
be all and end all. It was win or nothing. You couldn't hear anything | 0:41:07 | 0:41:12 | |
because everyone was just hanging in there. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:26 | |
CHEERING One down, three to go. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:36 | |
Let's get that first serve working right now. Often his left arm gets a | 0:41:37 | 0:41:44 | |
bit tight and he doesn't throw the ball up high enough, and I was just | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
thinking, throw it up, throw it up. Just crack it and it won't come | 0:41:50 | 0:41:51 | |
back. When it got to 40-0, I was thinking, | 0:41:52 | 0:42:59 | |
we just need one serve, we just need one serve not to come back. And all | 0:43:00 | 0:43:05 | |
I am thinking at that stage is ace, ace, ace. I just think he deserves | 0:43:06 | 0:43:15 | |
this. I remember he went, 40-0 up, which is brilliant, he is going to | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
walk it from here. He has three chances, three championship points. | 0:43:20 | 0:43:49 | |
Djokovic not giving in just yet. Point number three. | 0:43:50 | 0:44:22 | |
For de-0. For de-0. And the next thing, it's deuce. Can't believe it. | 0:44:23 | 0:44:33 | |
In a blink, it seemed like it was deuces. "this isn't real, this can't | 0:44:34 | 0:44:44 | |
happen". At 40-0 up, you think he's going to do it. But this guy just | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
wouldn't go away. The pressure was clearly getting to | 0:44:49 | 0:45:14 | |
me. On of the court, I went to pick up my towel and my arm was shaking | 0:45:15 | 0:45:20 | |
and I knew that I was in trouble if I couldn't finish that game. It | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
could have got quite ugly. I was sitting at the edge of the coffee | 0:45:24 | 0:45:27 | |
table by this time. I was practically on the set! | 0:45:28 | 0:45:41 | |
One minute I was wanting to cry, the next minute I felt sick, and next | 0:45:42 | 0:45:48 | |
minute it was hot, you were thirsty and there were so many emotions, it | 0:45:49 | 0:45:50 | |
was like a roller-coaster. # Lets go, Andy, let's go | 0:45:51 | 0:45:57 | |
# Come on, Andy, come on #. Andy, put it back! Oh! You lucky | 0:45:58 | 0:46:30 | |
salt! Jamey! The longer it went on, there was a feeling that this could | 0:46:31 | 0:46:34 | |
be the turning point of the match. If Andy doesn't win the set and win | 0:46:35 | 0:46:38 | |
the match, there's a good chance Djokovic good comeback into it. It | 0:46:39 | 0:46:41 | |
would have gone down as the biggest joke in history. You start to think, | 0:46:42 | 0:46:51 | |
what if this all goes ugly and you've been two sets up an three | 0:46:52 | 0:46:55 | |
match points and you lose it and you don't regroup. As a parent, you're | 0:46:56 | 0:47:02 | |
always thinking, "I might have to do a whole load of rescuing here. This | 0:47:03 | 0:47:04 | |
is going to be really tricky". CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:47:05 | 0:47:47 | |
Soaking up the pressure. He is going to collapse if he gets through the | 0:47:48 | 0:47:52 | |
game. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. This is the boy digging deep. I | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
literally couldn't breathe after some of these points. Sporting | 0:47:56 | 0:47:58 | |
immortality doesn't come easily. This is reaching new heights. We | 0:47:59 | 0:48:21 | |
talk about physical prowess but it's emotional prowess as well. He stayed | 0:48:22 | 0:48:26 | |
in control. It's another break point. Murray has had three | 0:48:27 | 0:48:33 | |
championship points. He had 40-0 in this game. | 0:48:34 | 0:48:38 | |
Any point will do. Any point will do. That was Boris. It's funny. He | 0:48:39 | 0:50:31 | |
is now coaching Novak. UMPIRE: Game, set and match, | 0:50:32 | 0:50:40 | |
Murray! The waiting is over. Andy Murray is the Wimbledon | 0:50:41 | 0:50:50 | |
champion. He's won Wimbledon! everyone was saying, "look, look, | 0:50:51 | 0:51:12 | |
your son has just won Wimbledon. You've got to look". A massive cheer | 0:51:13 | 0:51:17 | |
went up and I knew exactly why. He had won. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:25 | |
I may have welled up a touch. I can't remember exactly. I think I | 0:51:26 | 0:51:36 | |
lost a bit of my voice that day. I am not embarrassed to admit I got | 0:51:37 | 0:51:41 | |
very emotional. I went to the bar and I was like, " give me loads of | 0:51:42 | 0:51:47 | |
shots, " had loads of shots to celebrate and was like, "this is the | 0:51:48 | 0:51:56 | |
best hen do ever. This is amazing!" Our daughter was born. The midwife | 0:51:57 | 0:52:01 | |
passed her over and said, "you have a daughter," and Sheila to me and | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
smiled and said, by the way, Andy Murray won. I just relaxed. He's | 0:52:06 | 0:52:19 | |
just won Wimbledon! He's done it! He's done it! We were jumping up as | 0:52:20 | 0:52:28 | |
best we can. " Right, that's it, we're down to the sports club". The | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
atmosphere was amazing. They were all cheering and stamping their | 0:52:34 | 0:52:37 | |
feet. Certain things will just live with me for ever. Very difficult to | 0:52:38 | 0:52:44 | |
put into words, I've got to say. Without bursting into tears! I sat | 0:52:45 | 0:52:51 | |
down after I'd celebrated on the court and I asked the referee if I | 0:52:52 | 0:52:55 | |
had time to go out to the side of the court and for me, it was quite | 0:52:56 | 0:53:00 | |
nice because on my way up, John McEnroe was in his commentary booth | 0:53:01 | 0:53:03 | |
and to see him there as soon as I had finished was pretty cool. The | 0:53:04 | 0:53:07 | |
first person I went to was Ivan Lendl. He came up and shook hands | 0:53:08 | 0:53:17 | |
and gave everybody a high five. I didn't get to see my family much | 0:53:18 | 0:53:20 | |
because they were all sitting on the rows behind so I couldn't reach them | 0:53:21 | 0:53:26 | |
and my uncle, who was three rows bind, just behind Chris Hoy, and I | 0:53:27 | 0:53:33 | |
saw it back and he was leaning over and you could see the sweaty armpits | 0:53:34 | 0:53:36 | |
and he was robbing them on Chris Hoy's head. -- robbing them on Chris | 0:53:37 | 0:53:44 | |
Hawley's head as he was reaching over. I said, "don't forget your | 0:53:45 | 0:53:52 | |
mum!" I don't know if it was somebody in Novak's box. I thought | 0:53:53 | 0:53:59 | |
I'd better walk down and he went, " oh, hi, Mum". That was just like | 0:54:00 | 0:54:04 | |
him, like he'd just come in from work or something. And it is | 0:54:05 | 0:54:09 | |
wonderful that she is congratulated by the parents of the man that her | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
son congratulated in the final. I've known them since the kids were 12 or | 0:54:15 | 0:54:18 | |
13. We went through the whole thing together. We know what it's like. I | 0:54:19 | 0:54:23 | |
know that they will have been gutted but every single one of them came | 0:54:24 | 0:54:27 | |
over and said congratulations and gave me a hug. Regardless of losing | 0:54:28 | 0:54:32 | |
that much, I enjoyed it, being part of a very special moment for British | 0:54:33 | 0:54:38 | |
tennis, for Andy. He deserved to win that match. He was a better player. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:45 | |
What's amazing about him, he's such a class act. I know he's genuinely | 0:54:46 | 0:54:50 | |
happy for Murray and for Britain. He is disappointed that he lost but he | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
gets how important this is to Britain and to Scotland and to Andy | 0:54:55 | 0:54:58 | |
Murray. He's like that. He's an amazing dude. I loved it when Andy | 0:54:59 | 0:55:06 | |
had the trophy and you could see him looking at it and treasuring it so | 0:55:07 | 0:55:12 | |
much and then you dropped the lid! I was trying to look at some of the | 0:55:13 | 0:55:18 | |
names on it and the list came off. I went and saw him in the locker room | 0:55:19 | 0:55:22 | |
afterwards and I remember giving him a hug and saying, "I just don't know | 0:55:23 | 0:55:27 | |
how you did that, " and Andy looked at me and said, "I don't know | 0:55:28 | 0:55:32 | |
either". He was literally in a state of shock. The atmosphere was just | 0:55:33 | 0:55:38 | |
unreal and then we got a phone call from Andy. But we couldn't hear it | 0:55:39 | 0:55:48 | |
for the noise! I said, "there is a terrific party going on here. The | 0:55:49 | 0:55:52 | |
whole of Dunblane is thrilled for you, " and that kind of thing. He | 0:55:53 | 0:55:59 | |
said, "thanks, Gran. Are you all right?" And I said, " yeah, | 0:56:00 | 0:56:04 | |
absolutely fine". 30 minutes after the match, it all just hit me. I was | 0:56:05 | 0:56:10 | |
so tired. We were all up on the grass pit of the players' lounge and | 0:56:11 | 0:56:14 | |
everyone was drinking champagne and taking photos and I got this message | 0:56:15 | 0:56:20 | |
from you saying, "come down and say hi, " because you were stuck down | 0:56:21 | 0:56:24 | |
stairs. In two hours, you've got to be at the Wimbledon ball. How does | 0:56:25 | 0:56:30 | |
that happen? There's no time to go home and change. "Oh, that's not a | 0:56:31 | 0:56:34 | |
problem, you go down to the locker room and there is an Aladdin's Cave | 0:56:35 | 0:56:38 | |
of clothes and shoes and hairstylists". Auntie Judy said, | 0:56:39 | 0:56:44 | |
"oh, no, I have to go and get changed for the Wimbledon ball". So | 0:56:45 | 0:56:52 | |
we volunteered to help. We had forgotten all about it. I was | 0:56:53 | 0:56:59 | |
thinking I had nothing to wear. I didn't realise at that stage that | 0:57:00 | 0:57:02 | |
the people fit you out. I was whisked away for that. I think it | 0:57:03 | 0:57:08 | |
was after a meal that Judy and I were getting our photograph taken | 0:57:09 | 0:57:12 | |
with the gold trophy and people wondered who it was with the trophy | 0:57:13 | 0:57:15 | |
and then they started to applaud, which was lovely. We went to Andy's | 0:57:16 | 0:57:23 | |
table and he saw us and he got up and gave us a hug and that was very | 0:57:24 | 0:57:29 | |
emotional. To have me and my brother having both won a Wimbledon title, | 0:57:30 | 0:57:33 | |
it was just great to have them there. It was a nice photo and a | 0:57:34 | 0:57:39 | |
nice moment for all of us. And it is actually in our downstairs loo! | 0:57:40 | 0:57:46 | |
That's nice. Four or five days after Wimbledon finished, I went back to | 0:57:47 | 0:57:51 | |
Wimbledon to see Centre Court. There was no one there, it was completely | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
empty. I just walked around the court. There were no security | 0:57:57 | 0:58:02 | |
guards, groundsman, nothing. I took my phone and I filmed what, in my | 0:58:03 | 0:58:06 | |
mind, was how the last point played out. Any points will do. | 0:58:07 | 0:58:17 | |
With, obviously, no rackets or balls or nets or anything. And that was | 0:58:18 | 0:58:30 | |
it. I was like, "my cousin is one of the best tennis players in the | 0:58:31 | 0:58:34 | |
world," and then I never thought about it for a while because I was | 0:58:35 | 0:58:37 | |
thinking of what I was going to have for lunch. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:39 |
