Wimbledon champion Andy Murray cheered into 10 Downing Street Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was cheered into Number 10 as David Cameron invited the tennis ace to a Downing Street reception. The Scot, who ended Britain's 77-year wait for a male winner at the tournament, rubbed shoulders with Westminster's starstruck elite at the event. Prime Minister Mr Cameron greeted Murray outside the famous black door and applause rang out as No 10 aides and invited guests welcomed the Scot, who defeated world number one Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 at the men's singles final at SW19 on Sunday. Mr Cameron, Labour leader Ed Miliband, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and the Scottish National Party's Westminster leader Angus Robertson gathered in the No 10 garden to listen intently to Murray. Murray, wearing a smart navy suit, sipped from a glass of water as he chatted with the political leaders. The Prime Minister tweeted a shot of himself chatting with the Dunblane-born ace: Mr Cameron won a new fan in the shape of Murray's mother Judy. Asked how the Prime Minister was as she left No 10, Mrs Murray said: "Gorgeous." The Deputy Prime Minister tweeted about his encounter with the Wimbledon winner. Mr Clegg congratulated Murray and tweeted a picture of himself with the champion and his trophy: Murray left after an hour and gave a wave to waiting photographers before he was driven away from Downing St in a Mercedes. Earlier on Monday, House of Commons Speaker John Bercow paid tribute to Murray's Wimbledon triumph, sparking rare cheers from MPs. The Speaker said he offered "heartfelt congratulations" to Murray, following his defeat of Djokovic on Centre Court. Mr Bercow said: "I feel certain the House will wish to join me in offering our heartfelt congratulations to Andy Murray on becoming the first British man to win the Wimbledon singles championship since Fred Perry last did so in 1936." The Scot's victory was even raised in a Commons debate. During a debate on Home Secretary Theresa May's statement on the deportation of radical Islamic cleric Abu Qatada, Conservative MP Andrew Griffiths quipped: "I'm not sure what gave me greater pleasure on Sunday - watching Andy Murray's victory or the news that Mr Qatada was leaving on a jet plane." Murray, the first British male to win the singles title at the All-England Club since Fred Perry in 1936, previously said he was looking forward to concentrating on playing tennis. Speaking after his win, he said: "Wimbledon is the pinnacle of our sport, of tennis, so to win it is a great achievement. Prime Minister Cameron has even hinted that the 26-year-old could be rewarded with a knighthood. He said Murray's win "lifted the spirits of the whole country," adding: "Honours are decided independently but, frankly, I can't think of anyone who deserves one more." Sunday's match was watched by an average of 12.1m viewers, a 73% share. UK TV Ratings said the final attracted a higher peak than all Olympic sporting events last year except the 100m final, which drew 20m viewers. Danny Boyle's Olympic opening ceremony drew a peak audience of 26.89m.
