The tennis star rounds off a landmark year in which he won a second Wimbledon title, retained Olympic gold and finished the year as world number one. Also honoured are Scottish rower Katherine Grainger, who becomes a dame, and wheelchair tennis player Gordon Reid, who receives an MBE. Murray, who is a Unicef UK ambassador, receives his knighthood for services to tennis and charity. He also became a father in February and was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year for an unprecedented third time. The honour comes after Murray claimed he was too young for a knighthoodfollowing speculation he would be given the title earlier in the year. Edited June 29, 20251 yr by shull

December 30, 20169 yr congratulations on the guy with the knighthood but he'll still not be loved by all british due to his previous comments about independency etc..
December 31, 20169 yr Well deserved. A true world class sportsman who not only is the best in the world but is an inspiration. Congratulations.

June 1, 20179 yr Just now, elvis said: Are you watching him he's pish I am watching him. He is not having a great spell at the moment but pish ? Really? Wind up merchant .

It's well documented you're stupid, majority of posts confirm that but to give you some credit he has been playing very poor THIS season. How he got to world number 1 was because he was the best in the world throughout last year. Run along, you must have goldfish to speak to.
June 1, 20179 yr Always good to see a Scot being top of the world in any sport. Still wish he'd told them to shove the knighthood though

June 1, 20179 yr Murray through to play Del Potro on Saturday. Not vintage Murray TBH, sporadic signs of form but not consistent enough to win the tournament on this form.
June 1, 20179 yr I think he is struggling with the Number 1 ranking. I remember McEnroe talking about how everything changed when he got there. Especially when Borg quit.

Well Bud, the only way is down.................. In saying that the British Press are a bit OTT, the guy worked his socks off, he is a true winner and tossers that sell print don't know what that takes... Anyway Round 3 here we come

Especially when Borg quit. Aye, that's quite common, the physical and mental effort to get there can result in a drop in mental strength, resulting in a slight loss in form and, as with Murray, injuries and illness add to the pressure. Very fine margins with the guys at the top. A stern test, especially with Wimbledon looming up pretty soon. Every game/victory should slowly get him back to the form required to mix it with the big boys but he still has quite a way to go IMO.
June 1, 20179 yr Agreed plus he has had an elbow injury which even with my limited tennis knowledge is kinda important in a game that involves arms
