Murray comes up short in bid for Wimbledon title

 
With an often boisterous crowd fully behind Andy Murray, it was the man in front of him that kept the third-ranked Scot from becoming the first British man to reach the Wimbledon final in 71 years. Murray didn't play poorly in his 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (7) loss to Andy Roddick, far from it. He even gave the thousands of fans on Centre Court plenty to scream and cheer about throughout the match. But when it came to the few points that mattered the most, Roddick was the one who stepped up. (link)
