Motion Text

That this House congratulates Andy Murray on his move into the top three of the ATP world rankings; notes that Murray is the highest-ranking British tennis player since the current system was established in 1973; recognises his achievement in the week that marks the centenary of Fred Perry's birth, the name synonymous with British tennis success following his three Wimbledon championships titles in the 1930s; hopes that Murray's success will be an inspiration to budding young tennis stars; and wishes Murray luck in his pursuit of a Grand Slam title and further career victories.
