Wimbledon: Andy Murray's maiden win at All England Club named greatest moment

What is Wimbledon's greatest moment?
Almost 30,000 of you chose your top three
moments, from a list compiled by a panel of our
tennis experts, to help us celebrate 90 years of
the BBC at Wimbledon.
And the results, revealed during a Radio 5 live
programme, are in.
The best moment at Wimbledon - with 64% of
users placing it in their top three - is Andy Murray
winning his maiden title in 2013 and ending
Britain's 77-year wait for a men's champion.
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's intense final in
the dark back in 2008 came second, with Bjorn
Borg and John McEnroe's epic 1980 final coming
third.

Murray wins in 2013 - what they said
Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash: "It was
one of the greatest moments in tennis history - a
Briton winning Wimbledon. The atmosphere was
phenomenal.
"Wherever you went, there was this tension, this
expectation of "can he do it?" You can't
understand the pressure he had with 77 years of
history on his back. It takes one hell of a tough
kid to do that."
BBC commentator Barry Davies: "Andy Murray
does thoroughly deserve to win. It has to be a
Briton winning it. And he might now do what
Fred Perry did, and win it three times."
Former British number one Sam Smith: "There are
not many times when you're watching something
that you want to watch, but you can't.
"During the final game I had to go in my study
and pace about. If I'm feeling that, what must
Judy Murray and his family been going through?
It was the match you couldn't bear to watch, and
yet you had to."
