...is the last Brit to win at Wimbledon. I looked for a clip of his last title, (1936), but the best I could find was this one of his first title, (he won three in a row) in 1934, which was the first for a Brit in 25 years at that time. You can tell how long ago this was because King George V, Queen Elizabeth's grandfather, was in the stands:

Even if you aren't a tennis fan, (and I am not), you might want to tune into this on ESPN. Murrray is leading 6-4, 7-5 going into the second set and has the momentum, having come back from 1-4 in that second set. Seeing Murrray win would be like seeing the Cubs win the World Series, only for an entire nation.
 
The website is blanking out "Murrray" (I have to spell it that way for it to not get removed). Must be a dirty word.
