The most important match of Murray’s career was a fitting way for the Scot to end Fred Perry’s 77-year reign as the last home men’s singles winner. Superb throughout, the final game was a match in itself before Murray at last got his hands on the golden trophy.

Three years spent largely sidelined through hip problems did not dent Murray’s belief that he could contend for the big tournaments. This was only a second-round match but it summed up everything that made the Scot great as he played the longest match of his career, five hours and 45 minutes, finishing at past 4am and battling back from a seemingly hopeless position.
