Andy Murray kisses the prestigious Wimbledon trophy after becoming the first Men’s singles winner in 77 years, and the first British winner since Virginia Wade in 1977.
Andy Murray is the first British person to win the Men’s Singles Final at Wimbledon in seventy-seven years. The Scottish tennis pro had the whole nation rooting for him yesterday. He did not disappoint, beating the Slovakian, Novak Djokovic, in straight sets to take the title. With talk of a knighthood for the Dunblane native, the man’s endorsement deals are set to sky-rocket.
Rolex are the proud official timekeepers of the competition. Every last-second serve and just-in-time retort was backed by one of the most prestigious watch companies in the world. The relationship of Wimbledon to Rolex is a harmonious one: both the company and the sport were founded in Britain and exported around the world to the delight of millions. Here at Banks Lyon, we stock a range of luxury Rolex watches which boast all the accuracy and style for which the brand is world-renowned.
Whilst sports stars have to keep their eyes on the game, they are often able to pick up some sponsorship deals along the way. Roger Federer is sponsored by Rolex. Maria Sharapova wears TAG Heuer watches. Combined with that, they have sponsorship deals from sports brands, and in the case of Federer, even champagne producers.
Wimbledon is a great source of pride for British people. It is the pinnacle of the tennis competition calendar and to have a British native take the top spot has been simply marvellous. With the wonderful summertime weather upon us, the coming months will be a great time to get into sport. Banks Lyon stock a range of sports watches including the Chopard Happy Sport and Tissot T-Sport ranges so the time has never been better to take a cue from the professionals and get out onto the courts.
