(PRWEB UK) 11 July 2013 -- Digital Sports Group today announced that their extended live coverage of Wimbledon which focused on new Wimbledon Champion, Andy Murray was a phenomenon on Sport.co.uk.
The 2013 Wimbledon will always be defined as the year that Andy Murray won his first Wimbledon title, ending 77 years of wait for a British champion of the world’s greatest tennis championship. The nation collectively held its breath as Murray served for the match for the final time and a sporting legend was born.
DSG are looking to build on the wave of interest generated by the traffic surge on its website after taking the step to follow the tournament like never before.
Head of Operations at DSG, Matthew Tait had this to say, “It’s always very satisfying when a great sport's fan like tennis choose to come to you to follow the event as an independent fan based alternative. Whilst you never rest on your laurels and are always looking to improve your offering, we were really pleased with how the coverage went and will build on the ‘Murray Effect’. Tennis interest on our website grew almost 50% and we now hope to sustain that level of online interest in what we believe is the best tennis website on the internet.“
Simon Boynton, Managing Director of DSG believes that Sport.co.uk will be the perfect venue for Golf and The Open, “Sport.co.uk has grown rapidly since its re-launch in mid January in both coverage and readership and we have grown from just a handful of writers to well over one hundred. The great quality of our journalists and feature writers are already providing a great service to tennis fans. Sport.co.uk is the perfect hub for Sport in the UK.”
