Andy Murray defeated Milos Raonic to win the 2016 Wimbledon title after a 6-4 7-6 7-6 victory on Centre Court.
(CNN)A crying six-month-old baby can be the notorious bane of a working parent’s existence. But for Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, daughter Sophia proved to be the inspiration necessary to take him to the next level.
“I think (having a child) changed the motivation, not just for this tournament but throughout the whole year; just every day enjoying life a little bit more,” Murray told CNN on Monday. “It’s the best thing that’s happened to me, and my tennis has gotten better as a result of it.”
Moments after accepting his trophy and retreating to the clubhouse, the Scotsman was greeted by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who had been in attendance at the royal box Sunday as Murray claimed his second Wimbledon title in a straight-sets victory over Canadian Milos Raonic.
“Congratulations, I don’t know how you manage it with no sleep,” said Prince William — himself a young parent of two. When Murray noted that Sophia had slept soundly for three nights before the big match, the man who is second in line to the British throne called it “a good omen.”
