Andy Murray's win against Rafael Nadal in the semi-final of the tennis US Open tonight, just shows the success that determination and self-belief, coupled with natural talent and hard work can achieve. Back in his home town of Dunblane, Murray's grandmother Shirley Erskine spoke of her delight.
She said: "I am just so proud of him, I thought it was absolutely amazing.Nadal came out and just played superb tennis but Andy stayed with him and made it through. He's worked so hard this year and trained so hard and he really gave it his all and got a just reward.
He is in with the big boys now, but he has nothing to fear because he has beaten Federer before. If he goes out and plays as he did with Nadal he'll be fine."
Whether we are writers or sportsmen, or seek success in another field, let's be inspired by the champion play of Andy Murray. He now meets defending champion Roger Federer in the final. Whatever the final outcome, well done Mr. Murray!
