Andy Murray's historic Wimbledon win was "a thing of beauty", according to the British player's Jewish former coach.

Brad Gilbert, who coached Murray between 2006 and 2007, said the defeat of world number one Novak Djokovic was full of guts and class.

The victory had lifted the pressure off Murray's shoulders, and would allow him to go on to claim more Grand Slams, overtaking Djokovic at the top of the player rankings.

Murray triumphed in three sets to claim the men's singles title, ending a 77-year wait for a British winner.
