Andy Murray has revealed that he was in contact with retired footballer David Beckham during his Wimbledon campaign.
The Scotsman was crowned the Wimbledon champion yesterday following a three-set victory over Novak Djokovic.
"I messaged him back and forth over the past 10 days or so," BBC Sport quotes Murray as saying. "
He was getting back from Singapore and he called me this morning when I was on the way here just to say well done, congrats and enjoy it."
Beckham's wife Victoria was in the Royal Box for the final.
