Andy Murray winning Wimbledon was more than just a sports story. Splashed across every national newspaper front page, it has proved one of the biggest news stories of the year.

With the huge national attention (the BBC One broadcast was seen by more than 17m people), it proved a challenging day for Press Association, as the demand for copy from news organisations – newspapers, websites and broadcasters – proved insatiable.

PA had nearly 20 journalists and photographers working directly on Sunday’s final, with 11 present at the All England Club. It also had a journalist and a reporter in Murray’s hometown, Dunblane, and a journalist at one of the big television boards in London. PA even had a Lobby journalist on hand to get politicians’ reactions.
