Why does Andy Murray point at the sky after winning tennis matches?

Because he likes doing it? That is pretty obvious but if I would hazard a guess I think it has something to do with the Dunblane massacre. Andy was at the Primary School when this took place and I think that experience has had a profound effect on his life. He has an amazing drive and determination that could stem from knowing that he is lucky to be alive and he is just as determined to make the most of his opportunities. He has a great talent and has worked incredibly hard to succeed. I believe that when he points to heaven after each win, it is to dedicate it to those who died in DunBlane Primary school, knowing that they cannot do what he can. If that is the case, I think that it is a wonderful tribute to them and their families. Andy Murray is a true sporting hero and an example of what sport can do to bring people together and celebrate the good in life. However, at the end of the day, this is all speculation but fascinating nonetheless.
