Andy Murray’s tribute to David Cameron after Wimbledon win wasn’t that well received

The boo birds were out.

What do you get when you mix a triumphant Andy Murray, a wind-swept Prime Minister and a recent Brexit at SW19? Top quality comedy is what.

Andy Murray is the Wimbledon champ after he swept Canada’s Milos Raionic in the Men’s Singles final on Centre Court.

The Scot was dominant from the get-go but needed a couple of tie breaks to get the job done and secure his second Wimbledon title.

Interviewed by the BBC’s Sue Barker at the end, Murray spotted Prime Minister David Cameron up in the Royal Box and couldn’t help but comment.

Murray paid tribute to the outgoing Tory leader, though pointing him out to the crowd didn’t go down as well as he might have expected:

“The Prime Minister of the country is here too [Mix of cheers and boos from the crowd]… I think playing a Wimbledon final is tough but I certainly wouldn’t like to be Prime Minister. It’s an impossible job.”
