Sir Andy Murray? Cameron backs Knighthood

According to The Guardian, David Cameron, Britain Prime Minister, has fuelled speculations that the 26-year-old, Wimbledon champion will be recommended for a knighthood. He said Murray's victory, which saw the Scottish tennis player become the first Briton to win the men's singles title in 77 years, "lifted the spirits of the whole country". The prime minister said honours were decided independently but "frankly, I can't think of anyone who deserves one more".

However, Murray, 26, modestly questioned whether he deserved such an accolade: "I think it's a nice thing to have or be offered. I think just because everyone's waited for such a long time for this, that's probably why it'll be suggested, but I don't know if it merits that. I don't know."


Cameron said Murray's victory, which saw the Scottish tennis player become the first Briton to win the men's singles title in 77 years, "lifted the spirits of the whole country". 

Cameron told the children of St Mary's and St John's primary school in Hendon: "What the Andy Murray story shows is that if you are really dedicated and if you work really hard and if you set yourself a goal, you can achieve it. That's what Andy Murray did and it was a dream come true for him yesterday."
