Congratulations.....to Andy Murray for recently winning the US Open tennis Grand Slam title, the first Brit since Fred Perry in 1936 to lift a major title.

After reaching 4 Grand Slam finals and losing in each, Andy gave us the impression of being a plucky loser and a player who didn't have the extra gear to achieve the biggest prize.

Despite those losses, Andy never stopped believing in himself. Proof that if you want something and are prepared to work hard enough to reach that goal you will eventually succeed.

Been lucky enough to photograph Andy a few times, most recently in May when he was competing on clay in Barcelona.
