"He played in a Grand Slam final very much like he belongs there," Becker told BBC Sport.

"He's not afraid of the occasion and he can go head-to-head with the likes of Federer and he should take all the positives from that.

"He should be very proud of his performance. He was spectacular."


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Federer#Federer_vs._Murray
Federer and Murray have met 16 times with the series split 8-8 between the two players. Murray leads 8–7 on hard courts and Federer holds a 1–0 lead on grass. They have never met on clay.[91] Federer has won each of their Grand Slam matches (all three were in the final) at the 2008 US Open,[92] 2010 Australian Open,[93] and the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. However, Murray leads 5–1 in ATP 1000 tournaments. They have met three times at the ATP World Tour Finals, with Murray winning in Shanghai in 2008[94] and Federer in London in 2009 and 2010.[95] Their latest meeting was their first on grass in the 2012 Wimbledon final, where Federer was victorious in four sets.


And congratulations to Jonathan Marray and Frederik Nielsen.

Jonathan Marray became the first Briton to win the Wimbledon men's doubles title for 76 years after victory with wildcard partner Frederik Nielsen.

Sheffield-based Marray, 31, and Dane Nielsen only teamed up three events ago but beat fifth seeds Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau 4-6 6-4 7-6 6-7 6-3.

Patrick Hughes and Raymond Tuckey were the last British winners in 1936.

"What a great honour," said Marray. "I just wanted to cherish every moment. Thanks to Freddie. It was meant to be."

The last Britons to reach the men's doubles final were Bobby Wilson and Mike Davies in 1960.

Marray had never been past the third round in his previous 10 attempts in the doubles, and had to request a wildcard entry with recent partner Nielsen, whose grandfather Kurt played in the Wimbledon men's singles final in 1953 and 1955.
