Britain's Jonathan Marray says that his Wimbledon men's doubles win with partner Frederik Nielsen was "meant to be".

Britain's Jonathan Marray has said that his Wimbledon men's doubles win with partner Frederik Nielsen was "meant to be".

The wildcard pairing saw off fifth seeds Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau in a five-set thriller on Centre Court on Saturday night.

The victory has seen Marray become the first Brit to win the title in 76 years.

"What a great honour," he said. "I just wanted to cherish every moment. Thanks to Freddie. It was meant to be."

Meanwhile, Dane Nielsen described the triumph as the best in his tennis career.

"It's insane," he said. "If you had told me three weeks ago I wouldn't have believed you. It's by far the best thing I've ever experienced in tennis. The crowd got us going."

The last British winners to lift the trophies were Patrick Hughes and Raymond Tuckey in 1936.
