Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon title and ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's champion with a hard-fought victory over world number one Novak Djokovic.
The Scot, 26, converted his fourth championship point in a dramatic final game to win 6-4 7-5 6-4 and claim his second major title.
The final game was a battle in itself, with Murray seeing three match points slip by from 40-0 and fending off three Djokovic break points with some fearless hitting, before the Serb netted a backhand to end the contest.
After a gruelling three hours 10 minutes in searing temperatures, Murray had finally followed in the footsteps of Fred Perry's 1936 win at the All England Club.
He could barely believe he had won saying: "It feels slightly different to last year. Last year was one of the toughest moments of my career, so to manage to win the tournament today...
"It was an unbelievably tough match, so many long games."
He later tweeted: "Can't believe what's just happened!!!!!!!"

Novak Djokovic has to leave Australia, it became clear today after the world number one in tennis appealed against the revocation of his visa, but lost in court. Thus, the hope of participating in the Australian Open evaporated.
Novak Djokovic apologized for a "misjudgment of the situation" in a media interview while knowing he was positive for Covid-19, and admitted that his agent had made an administrative error in the travel form.
Novak Djokovic was arrested again shortly after winning a lawsuit for his revoked visa. The father of world number one, Srdjan Djokovic, has announced what is happening in Australia, the Daily Mail reports.
The court ruled that Novak Djokovic be released after the judge observed a lack of common sense in the way the border guard decided to cancel his visa.
Australia has revoked Novak Djokovic's visa to enter the country, local authorities said. This happened after the Serbian tennis player spent more than 8 hours at the airport in Melbourne, where a problem with his visa was found.
