Downing Street in London, Monday, July 8, 2013. Murray is the first Briton to win the men ' s singles title for 77 years.
After beating Novak Djokovic in straight sets at the All England Club on Sunday, Andy Murray became the first British man to win the Wimbledon championshipsince Fred Perry in 1936. Now, if David Cameron has anything to say about it, Murray may follow up his title with knighthood.
The British prime minister, who watched the match from the Royal Box, seemed to be on board with Murray getting knighted and joining the ranks of other star athletes such as Roger Bannister, Nick Faldo and Kelly Holmes.
