He handled the pressure, he played the shots, he came good when it mattered, he broke back after he was broken.... He also made mistakes, but to beat Djokovic in 3 straight sets in any match, let alone the final is amazing!
If Bradley Wiggins became knighted for winning the Tour De France, then I don't see no reason why Andy shouldn't become a Sir. I'd say he was under more pressure to win Wimbledon then Wiggins was to win the Tour De France. When you couple the expectation with the pressure, everyone has to admit that winning it is remarkable.

Last I'm saying on the subject. Why should sports people get knighthoods for winning sport events? What does that say to doctors, nurses, ambulance, police, fire brigade and the armed forces fighting in Iraq Afghanistan? We thank you for doing your job with crap pay, even crapper work conditions but you won't get an honour because you haven't won a sporting event.
About time we stopped rewarding sports people with honours and give them to the people who matter most, like everyone I've mentioned. Winning a tennis trophy. Big deal. Ditto for sitting on your backside on a bike and winning a race that hardly anyone cares about.
