No. A British men’s singles champion at Wimbledon is not an April Fool’s joke.
It really did happen. The term “British tennis” is no longer an oxymoron.
Fans can now read the full extraordinary story about Andy Murray and journey to his historic Wimbledon triumph last summer in the new book by Mark Hodgkinson “Andy Murray: Wimbledon Champion” published by New Chapter Press and available here on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1937559408/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_-dSotb01F620VCHQ
The book is a fascinating and revealing biography of Murray, who last summer became the first British man in 77 years to win the men’s singles title at Wimbledon, exorcising the demons of decades of British tennis frustration
Few tennis players have ever had to carry the same weight of expectation from an entire nation in the way that Andy Murray has. Nor has their path to triumph been subjected to quite so much scrutiny. In the book, Hodgkinson documents Murray’s incredible journey and examines the individuals who have influenced Murray’s career, including his family, his coaches, and his girlfriend. Hodgkinson assesses how the Scot has won over a dubious, critical public and how he was shaped into what he always wanted to be – a Wimbledon champion.
Hodgkinson is the founder and editor of TheTennisSpace.com and a former tennis correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. He has written for the BBC, contributed to British GQ, and other tennis periodicals around the world.
