Winter flashback #2 - When Murray finally became a prince in his own kingdom (Wimbledon 2013)

Before Andy Murray arrived at the pinnacle of world tennis, English players were facing a real curse at Wimbledon. Not since Fred Perry won the title in 1936 had an Englishman triumphed in the temple of tennis.

Until the 2013 edition of Wimbledon.

That year, in front of a crowd longing to see one of the Breasts triumph, Andy Murray put an end to a 77-year drought by serenely taming Novak Djokovic in the final (6-4, 7-5, 6-4).

Faced with the hecatomb at Wimbledon that year, and in particular the early elimination of a certain Roger Federer (beaten in the second round), the most English of Scotsmen had to face a great deal of pressure.

Buoyed by an exceptional level of tennis, Murray didn't really tremble until the quarter-finals, where he trailed by two sets before finally toppling Fernando Verdasco in a match lasting over 3 hours 30 minutes (4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5).

Driven by a particular strength, the Scot finally achieved the title he was destined to win. An unfortunate finalist the previous year, beaten by Roger Federer, he dried his tears magnificently by becoming the icon of an entire nation.

It was a Sunday in 2013, and Murray was writing his legend.
