Andy Murray Wimbledon victory sparks global Twitter frenzy

Andy Murray's Wimbledon final victory over Novak Djokovic has sparked a global frenzy on Twitter.

The Briton's 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 defeat of the world number one inspired messages from as far afield as Iran, Nigeria and Brazil, according to social media analysts Synthesio.

The majority of Murray-related tweets came from around the UK, but Synthesio monitored a further 11,000 from India, 4,712 from Nigeria, 2,032 from Malaysia, more than 1,000 from Brazil, and even 200 from Iran in support of the Scot.

Analysis of online conversations held over Facebook, blogs, forums and the comments sections of media outlets suggests that 90% of posts about the tennis player were positive in the wake of his Wimbledon triumph.

Murray's straight-sets win saw him become the first British man to win the tournament since Fred Perry in 1936.

The athlete has now been tipped for a knighthood in the next Queen's honours list.
