Wimbledon Finale A Giant Ratings Success In Britain

Andy Murray, the first British man to reach the Wimbledon singles final since 1938, may have lost to Switzerland's Roger Federer on Sunday, but he succeeded in drawing the second-biggest television audience of the year in the U.K. According to ratings figures, the BBC telecast of the match was watched by an average of 11.4 million viewers and a peak of 17 million, the largest number to tune in to a Wimbledon match since 1980. Federer beat Murray 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, giving him his seventh Wimbledon title.
