Andy Murray couldn't hide his disappointment after being defeated by Roger Federer.
Britain had its fingers crossed this weekend as tennis star Andy Murray prepared to battle it out against Roger Federer to become the UK's first Wimbledon Men's Singles champion since 1936.
The weight of expectation was incredibly high: although Murray has fought his way to four Grand Slam finals, he's never managed to lift the trophy, so the pressure was on for history to be made.
Murray was considered the underdog against Federer, so spectators were on the edge of their seats when he managed to win the first set. But hopes began to fade when his opponent fought back, finally easing his way towards victory to become the Wimbledon champion for the seventh time.
