WHAT a sad day forall of us. What a ride we have had; what a ride. Andy Murray has given everything to all of us who are Scottish, British of another nationality: the fight, the skill, the integrity, the artistry, the humility, the torture, the tears, the genius and the humour.

He gave sports fans and others reason to believe and have heaving hearts, tears of joy and national pride.

He transfixed us so that we looked forward to 3am starts as we tuned in on TV with childish anticipation to watch him play in far-flung places.

What a void. He will never be forgotten.

Chapeaux Andy.
