Murray is a Multi-sport Fan |

Andy Murray is extremely cosmopolitan in his sporting tastes; he loves watching both soccer and boxing but has also revealed himself to be an ardent fan of NBA Basketball and maintains he gains inspiration in his long standing quest to end a 76 year for a British champion at Wimbledon by the patient success of Miami Heat star LeBron James.

Murray is through to his fourth successive semi-final at the All England Club and will play Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga tomorrow (Friday). In all this is his seventh Wimbledon campaign and he said: “LeBron is obviously is a great basketball player who came very close to winning the NBA title quite a lot of times.

“I don’t need to go into the whole background of his whole story, but him winning this year for him I’m sure was massive. For me as a basketball fan it was nice to see. For me I guess it’s a similar situation I’ve been close a lot of times and not quite made it. Just have to keep putting myself in the position, and hopefully it will click.”

Meanwhile Murray’s predecessor as the great British hope, Tim Henman believes this year presents the best opportunity yet for the Scot to succeed the legend of Fred Perry.

Henman, himself a four times semi-finalist, was impressed by the way Murray improved throughout his 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 7-6 quarter final victory over seventh seed David Ferrer that lasted three hours and 52 minutes on Centre Court.

Next Murray faces Tsonga, an opponent he’s beaten five times in their six meetings, and Henman said: “Now Andy is into the semis and he doesn’t have to play Nadal, while he’s still got a very tough task in the form of Tsonga…”
