Andy Murray finally collects his final (and most prestigious) award of the year.
Andy made history this year after winning Wimbledon to end a 77 years drought for Britain (the last Brit to win the Championship was Fred Perry in 1936).
The award was hardly surprising and it was handed in Miami by Martina Navratilova to Murray. The world no.4 was visibly emotional during the video link to comment “Thanks to Martina Navratilova for giving this to me. She’s possibly the greatest tennis player of all time.
“I’ve got a few people to thank – my family first. A lot are there in the crowd. They’ve supported me since I was a kid, making a lot of sacrifices for me. I couldn’t have done it without you. My team are also all standing behind the camera here. They’ve been with me for a long time and I also couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you to all of them.”
“And finally I’d like to thank all the public who voted, for giving me so much sport over the last couple of years. It has made a huge difference. I know sometimes I’m not the easiest person to support but I’ve had a lot of pressure on me for a long time. I’m glad I managed to do it.
“No matter how excited I try to sounds my voice always sounds boring – that’s just my voice, I’m sorry! I’m very excited right now! Thank you very much everyone.”
Andy will kick start the season in few days’ time playing the Mubadala World Tennis Championship.
