Clutching the Wimbledon trophy as he recovers in an ice bath, Andy Murray posted this picture of himself to Facebook after celebrating his second title at SW19 with a straight sets win over Canadian Milos Raonic.
The Scot broke into tears after clinching the final point as the emotion overcame him and the crowd erupted with joy all around him.
He won the match 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 and was rarely troubled as he put in a dominant display, matching Raonic's big service game with plenty of aces of his own.
After the final he thanked the crowd for their supporting, including Prime Minister David Cameron, who was roundly booed as Murray tried to laugh off the audience reaction.
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge were in the Royal Box cheering on Murray alongside a host of celebrities including Benedict Cumberbatch, Lily James, Hugh Grant and Bradley Cooper.
After the match, William and Kate congratulated the 29-year-old as he clutched the gilt trophy to his chest.
The couple asked him about his baby daughter Sophia, in an exchange caught by the BBC.
William said: 'How's your daughter?'
Murray replied: 'She's great. Last three nights slept through.'
William commented that had been 'a good omen'.
Murray returned the favour by inquiring about Princess Charlotte, saying: 'She's five months now... and yours?'
The answer could not be heard, but Murray went on to talk about serving, before Kate said: 'Many congratulations, it was a great game.'
William said: 'So pleased for you, well done,' and Kate added: 'You can relax with your family now.'
Murray also spoke to actor Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter.
He then went out on to the club balcony, where a cheering crowd of waiting tennis fans saw the triumphant Scot hold the trophy aloft for them.
