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 .
