Exactly. Echoing Mark's earlier post, I think giving out Kighthoods to sportsman should be assessed, but a precedent has now been set. Along those lines I don't see why Murray shouldnt be given a knighthood. He has won a gold at the Olympics, the US Open, Wimbledon - not counting the grand slam finals he lost. THis in an era of amazing opponents. He has been in the top 3 of world tennis players for a while now and has been the best British tennis player of modern times.
