Andy Murray beat Milos Raonic to be crowned the champion at Wimbledon 2016 on Sunday. The iconic centre court of All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club attracted a lot of celebs and other powerhouses to witness the match. The  star-studded list included actor Bradley Cooper, British Prime Minister David Cameron, actor Hugh Grant, Lilly James, and Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch among others.

FYI, Andy Murray is a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch's show Sherlock. From the looks of it, one can tell that the ace tennis player keeps track of the show even while on tour. When he was playing Australian Open earlier this year, he wanted to know when the Sherlock one-off special 'The Abominable Bride' would air in Australia.

So on Sunday, it came as no surprise what the duo would talk about. On his way to the press conference after winning the match, Murray was introduced to the glitterati present at the club to watch the match. Cumberbatch and wife Sophie Hunter were one of them.

Murray shook hands with Cumberbatch and said that he is a fan of the actor. Cumberbatch replied, "Likewise." Cumberbatch then complimented Murray on his game. But when Murray came to know that Cumberbatch is currently filming the fourth season of the show, one could see the fanboy in him light up! He asked about the number of episodes for season 4.

The duo also talked about Murray's daughter who is just five months old. Murray was quite happy that his girl slept through three nights before the big final.

So mature of Sophia Olivia!
