Andy Murray is the 2013 Wimbledon men’s champion after producing the performance of his life to beat Novak Djokovic – the world No 1 – in straight sets.

The 26-year-old was superb in the searing heat of Centre Court, winning 6-4 6-4 6-4 and ending Britain’s 77-year wait for a men’s winner at the All England Club.

Having broken Djokovic’s serve in the third set to go 5-4 ahead, Murray triumphed in an epic tenth game to win.

The opening moments of this match set the tone for a incredible tussle and proved why Murray and Djokovic are ranked No 1 and 2 in the world.

As the sun beat down on Centre Court, Murray quickly put pressure on Djokovic’s serve immediately and had three break points.

The Serbian fought back, however, but it wasn’t to last for long.

Murray held, before breaking Djokovic in an unbelievable game that included a 25-stroke rally at 30-40.

His opponent broke back to level things at 2-2, before Murray broke Djokovic’s serve for a second time. That was enough to take the first set 6-4 as Centre Court – which hosted Wayne Rooney, David Cameron, Ed Miliband and several other famous faces – roared with approval.

But hopes of a Murray win were put in check early in the second set as Djokovic broke to go 4-1 ahead.

Andy Murray, however, donned a cap as the sun beat down and put the heat on the Serb by winning three in a row.

A break of serve at 5-5 – one that even brought the usually calm Ivan Lendl to his feet – helped Murray into a two-set lead.
