WIMBLEDON, England — Just a few hours after becoming the first
British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years, Andy Murray threw on a tuxedo
Sunday and joined women’s winner Marion Bartoli at the champions ball at
the InterContinental Park Lane Hotel in London.
Bob and Mike Bryan (who won men’s doubles), Peng Shuai and Hsieh
Su-wei (women’s doubles) and Daniel Nestor and Kristina Mladenovic
(mixed doubles) also earned invites to the party.
The men’s and women’s champions no longer have the first dance, but
Murray was still looking forward to celebrating with Bartoli.
“She’s a very, very nice girl,” Murray said beforehand. “I’ve spent
little bits of time with her over the last few years. She works
extremely hard. A lot of people kind of questioned her sort of methods,
the ways that she plays. I was really, really happy for her that she
managed to win yesterday. I’m sure she’ll be good fun tonight. She’s a
funny girl.”
