On Sunday the 8th July 2012, in London in Wimbledon finals when Andy Murray the tennis player from Britain , lost to the Swiss Roger Federer , nearly 1.5 crores Britishers and Scottish tennis lovers had tears in their eyes. Andy Murray's mother , his girl friend Kim Sears. are woman, they have the right to cry, but when Andy loses the title so near to him , than mother Jade is entitled to cry, but the eyes of the British Prime Minister David Cameron , Football player David Beckham and his wife Victoria had tears in their eyes.
Many a times the philosophical poetry or quotes are good to here, but its very very difficult to digest the humilating loss for the player, at the highest level of the game. A philosophical quote " If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same " It says win and loss are the two sides of a coin, which has to be treated and accepted in the same spirit.But this message to read seems very sweet , but can one stop the tears flowing when one loses ?
People were not only sad in the stadium, but outside the stadium , Britishers staying in America were sad and broken down due to Murray's defeat. Nearly the match duration was 3 hours and 24 minutes , to watch the match many spectators had bought the tickets in black market for 5000 sterling pounds which is nearly Rs 3 lacs for a ticket. On Internet tickets were sold at 400 % premium, although Britain is in financial slowdown but to watch the finals people were dying to pay whatever premium to buy a ticket. The match was on the 8th Sunday,2012 but long queues were seen outside the stadium from Saturday midnight , people waiting in the queue to buy eight pound ticket in rains. brest feeding mothers were also standing in the queue to buy the tickets.
Andy Murray is a Britisher, if he had won the Wimbledon title after 76 years , the Englishmen would have rejoiced and celebrated like Christmas. As per the famous sports writer Paul Newman who says " It was a death of a dream". It was not the dream of Andy Murray or his mother or his girl friend, but the dream of entire Britain has been shattered.
On one side one's dream was broken, but on the other side Swiss winner Roger Federer's dreams had no boundaries . With this win Federer becomes the 5th highest paid sportsman after Tiger Woods .
He will get 4.5 crore US $ that is Rs 2250 crore contracts from Rolex, Wilson , Credit Swiss Bank. Nike shoes already have a contract with him which pays him yearly 56 crore.
Indian pubic has cricket madness, Let Dhoni and Sehwag have differences, but on the day when Dhoni beats Pakistan the whole of India will be on streets rejoicing . A London journalist says that sports and the sports heroes have such a magic that a single win raises the spirit of the entire nation.
