Re: Tennis
In terms of knighthoods handed out for sporting achievement in the modern era, what Andy Murray has done in the past 12 months has got to be up there.
In August he won Great Britain's first male singles Gold in over 100 years. On the same day he helped win our first medal in doubles mixed in over 90 years. By winning the US Open he became our first Slam winner in over 70 years and I really don't need to say anything about Sundays victory that isn't already known.
Murray is on the brink of being world number 1. If he achieves this it'll be the first time a Brit has been on top of the pile for over 70 years.
