A winner and a runner-up

Congratulations to Roger Federer, a worthy champion; commiserations to Andy Murray who, gracious, articulate and emotional in defeat, enhanced his reputation today.

I cried. Brilliant tennis but I so wanted Andy Murray to win.

Here on the other side of the water (North Carolina) I was as enthusiastically pulling for Andy Murray as any Brit -- and as teary when he lost. And a word too for knitting while watching. I finished a cardigan which will ever remind me of the superb tennis.

They gave us a great afternoon and that was a winner of a speech. Well done Andy Murray.
