Emotions were running high once the microphone was handed to a certain Mr Murray on Centre Court after his epic attempt at answering the prayers of a nation. Although Britain will have to wait another 12 months for the chance of a Men’s Singles Champion at Wimbledon, I think Andy Murray’s fan base expanded exponentially with his courageous and tearful speech congratulating Roger Federer, and giving his heartfelt thanks to all the support he had received from everybody he could manage to mention.
May I also add that the introduction of that awesome roof at Centre Court has transformed the whole championships at Wimbledon – mainly allowing for games to continue during the bad weather that is so typical of England during the summer months.
So, with lots of little subjects mentioned above let’s put some songs together into a list for you:
Smokey Robinson – I Second That Emotion
Amy Winehouse – Tears Dry On Their Own
The Drifters – Up On The Roof
Womack & Womack – Teardrops
Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter
ABBA – The Winner Takes It All
Christina Aguilera – Thank You (Dedication To Fans)
Can I also squeeze in a ‘Very well done, chap!’ to Mark Webber for his awesome win at Silverstone at the weekend and although he is an Aussie, Webber could call the British Grand Prix his home race being as he is one of the few Formula 1 drivers living in the UK.
Anyway, have a great week guys and let me leave you with this thought: why don’t they make mouse-flavoured cat food?
