Andy Murray has won his third grand slam title but the first member of his family to win a major was his older brother Jamie, who took the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 2007. And the elder Murray was one of the first to offer his congratulations:
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. @andy_murray 2 wimbledon titles 🏆🏆

Other tennis stars acknowledged a man at the top of his game:

While the man himself chipped in from his ice bath:
There were also congratulations from athletes from other sports. Jordan Spieth will be heading to Scotland for this month Open so it probably makes sense to get on the home crowd’s side:
