It's been Sir Andy Murray for a while now, but it was made even more official on Thursday. While an action-packed day of play was going on in Rome, the Scot was at Buckingham Palace receiving his knighthood from Prince Charles.

The 32-year-old was named to the Queen's New Year Honours List in 2016 after he won his second Wimbledon title and second Olympic gold medal. He gets to add a knighthood medal to his collection.

"I'm very proud to receive it. It's a nice day to spend with my family — my wife and parents are here," he said. "I'd have liked to [have brought] my kids but I think they're a bit young. I'll show them the medal when I get home."
