Andy Murray is once again poised to clinch his first ever Grand Slam and should he beat Roger Federer in the final of Wimbledon 2012, it would be the greatest moment for Great Britain all year.

He has disposed of quality and difficult opponents such as Marcos Baghdatis, Marion Cilic, David Ferrer and most recently, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to progress through to the final.

Now he is just one win away from giving Great Britain their greatest moment of the year.



There is no doubt that a Murray win on home soil at Wimbledon will rank above any of the events set to take place at the 2012 London Olympics.

The same can be said for the Tour de France, where Bradley Wiggins is seeking to become the first ever British winner of the greatest cycling race in the world.

Again, it would be an incredible performance, but not as incredible as Murray.
