LONDON -- When the tears flowed for Andy Murray after he won Wimbledon for the first time three years ago it was down to the immense relief he felt at finally landing his home Grand Slam.
This time, after beating Milos Raonic on Sunday, he indicated that the raw emotion that comes with being a new dad simply burst through the surface.
"It's special -- having a daughter changes your perspective on things," said Murray, whose wife, Kim, gave birth to Sophia in February.
Speaking to ESPN's Tom Rinaldi, he added: "I want to make her proud as well so I'm playing for something a bit different now.
"It's a nice distraction from tennis. Before, I took tennis so seriously. Now, at the end of the days I get time to go home and spend with her.
"Seeing her grow up and change all the time is really nice and hopefully she'll be proud of this one day."
Murray almost broke down again after admitting to the pride he hoped his little girl would feel, and he wouldn't be the first father to behave differently when considering the thoughts and feelings of his child.
Another reason the world No.2 found it hard to control his emotions at the end of the final on Centre Court was the Grand-Slam run he had been on.
The 29-year-old made it to the finals of the Australian Open and Roland Garros this year and would have completed a hat-trick of defeats had he misfired against Raonic.
He's also had to deal with an operation since that 2013 victory, going under the knife a few months later. "Back surgery was hard and the year after it I found tough," he said.
"You expect to come back from it and feel great immediately, but it takes time and you lose confidence and physically aren't quite the same. It took 9-12 months to start feeling good again.
"I'd lost my level, lost a bit of conditioning and it took time to build that back up, build my confidence back up -- and now I'm here.
"It's been a few years now since I won a slam. There have been a few tough losses, and I'm just really happy to have won one again."
