Andy Murray: Don't cry for me, Britain!

Andy Murray made Britain and Scotland proud despite his defeat against the "mighty" Roger Federer at Wimbledon on Sunday. The Brit's dreams of winning his first Wimbledon title and becoming the first British man in 76 years to win a Wimbledon singles title ended in tears...not only for the player, but to his girlfriend Kim Sears, mother Judy Murray and friends, and many people in the stands and watching at home. Even the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton got tears in her eyes while listening to the player's emotional words during trophy ceremony (watch the video below).

Murray has his family full support. His brother Jamie posted a lovely message on Twitter (see image) and his mother tweeted around midnight a photo of champagne glasses with the words: "Lots to celebrate...Amazing day. Amazing tourney. Amazing son."

Despite all the love and support, it will be hard for the world No 4 to cope with this loss, but the good thing is Murray won a huge crowd of fans after his defeat - some were impressed by his resilience, others touched by his emotional speech. 

We wish Murray all the best and we hope he gets his first Grand Slam title as soon as possible!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and Prince William, made their first Wimbledon appearance on Day 9 of the Championships and watched Roger Federer and Andy Murray advance to the semifinals. 

All over the internet, from social media to newspapers, Middleton love spread like wildfire. Maybe it was "her cream knit Alexander McQueen dress that looked as if it could have come straight from a Wimbledon kit list from the roaring Twenties", as the Daily Mail points out, or her funny tennis expressions, or, who knows, her charming Prince sitting by her side... the fact is the royals and the Middletons create a stir when they arrive at Wimbledon. 

Tennis Boulevard selected some of the funniest and cutest "Middleton love" posts and headlines for you. Enjoy!

The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge are in Wimbledon watching the quarterfinals match between Roger Federer and Mikhail Youzhny. Prince William and Kate Middleton were given a loud ovation as they took their seats in the Royal Box ahead of the match. 

Last week, Prince Charles returned to Wimbledon for the first time since 1970, and got to watch Roger Federer defeat Fabio Fognini. Kate's sister Pippa Middleton has also been at the All England Club during the Championships.

Next on Centre Court, Will and Kate will cheer for Britain's Andy Murray who is set to play against Spain's David Ferrer. They were also in Wimbledon last year to applaud Britain's number 1 tennis player.

Tennis legends couple Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are also at Centre Court to check out Today's matches. England football manager Roy Hodgson, Rod Laver and Richard Krajicek are some other guests attending Federer's match.
