Murray was presented with the trophy by nine-times Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova. "Thanks to Martina Navratilova for giving this to me," Murray said. "She's possibly the greatest tennis player of all time.
"I've got a few people to thank -- my family first. A lot are there in the crowd. They've supported me since I was a kid, making a lot of sacrifices for me. I couldn't have done it without you."
Murray beat Serbian Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the Wimbledon final in July to become the first home winner of the men's singles at the grasscourt Grand Slam tournament since Fred Perry in 1936.
