Murray: I’m too young for knighthood

Andy Murray has played down calls for him to be given a knighthood and feels he is too young for the accolade.
The 29-year-old has enjoyed the best year of his career as a professional, reaching 12 finals in 13 events while winning Wimbledon and Olympic gold en route to the top of the world rankings.
The Scot has already been rewarded with an OBE for his services to tennis but the likes of Lord Sugar have led the cries for the three-time Grand Slam winner to be knighted.
It seems inevitable that Murray will be a ‘Sir’ one day but, for now, the man who downed Novak Djokovic on Sunday to win the ATP World Tour Finals is content to bide his time.
“Obviously it is the highest honour you can get in this country. I don’t know, I feel too young for something like that,” he said.
“I don’t think about that stuff much, really. When I win any award or am presented with anything it is nice because it is recognition for what you have given your life to, up to now anyway.
“I am still young and there are still a lot of things that can go wrong, I could still mess up and make mistakes. Do stuff wrong. I am just trying to keep doing what I am doing, working hard, and achieving stuff.”
