Andy Murray admits Roger Federer apology

Andy Murray says that he apologised to Roger Federer for his speech after the Wimbledon final on Sunday.

British number one Andy Murray has admitted to apologising to Roger Federer after his speech following their Wimbledon final clash.

The Swiss won his seventh SW19 title and moved back to the world number one ranking after his 4-6 7-5 6-3 6-4 victory over the Scot.

Afterwards, Murray made a tearful speech to the crowd and conceded that he apologised to Federer in fear of hogging the limelight.

"I just said to him, 'Sorry'," said Murray.

"I didn't obviously want that to happen. You feel like you're kind of attention seeking or something. It was not like that at all, but I knew it was going to be hard.

"I've seen Roger do the same thing a couple times before, so he kind of knows what it's like. He just laughed. He said, 'This is meant to be the easy part, doing the speeches after the match'. But sometimes it feels quite hard compared with playing a tennis match."

Murray is still looking for his first Grand Slam victory.
