Andy Murray Worn Down in Heatbreak Loss to Roger Federer at Wimbledon

Here's the headline at London's Daily Mail, "Murray's Grand Slam hopes dashed as fantastic Federer wins thrilling four-set final at Wimbledon."

Also see the live blog at Telegraph UK, "Andy Murray v Roger Federer - Wimbledon 2012 men's final: live."

I got up at 6:00am to catch the match. Murray came on super strong in the opening games, breaking Federer in the first game and winning his next service to go ahead 2-0. No doubt all of Britain's hopes surged at that start. And things stayed well for Murray. He won the set and looked in good shape to win the match. But there was a rain delay and Wimbledon officials closed the roof of the stadium. When play resumed, Murray was unable to break Federer's momentum and he started to tire badly. And he took a nasty fall during the 10-deuce game that was the turning point of the match. It went downhill from there.

Daily Mail also has a live blog, "WIMBLEDON 2012 LIVE: Andy Murray takes on Roger Federer in the men's final."

More on this later. The closer ceremony was must-see TV. I'll check for video of Murray's speech and update. Until then, a great update at the Daily Mail, "Murray mania turns to misery: Andy, girlfriend Kim and mum Judy all in tears on Centre Court as he loses Wimbledon final to Federer." Murray is a real class act. Federer won with superior fitness and finesse, but with all of Britain's eyes on Murray, it was a heartbreak loss with tons of emotion.
