Congratulations to Andy Murray on Performance at Australian Open Tennis
The motion
That the Parliament applauds Andy Murray on reaching the Australian Open Tennis men's final in Melbourne Park, where he played the world’s number one seed, Novak "iron man" Djokovic; notes that this was Andy’s third Australian Open and sixth Grand Slam final; considers his performance in the final and his previous five-set victory over Roger Federer in the semi-final to be a very promising start to 2013, following on from what it considers to be his incredible year of tennis in 2012, which saw him win gold in the men’s singles at the London Olympics and win the US Open; considers Andy Murray to be an excellent role model for all Scots sporting participants; notes that Andy is currently seeded number three in the world, and wishes him many more successes in what it sees as his outstanding career.
