After a tense and dramatic match, Andy Murray lost to Roger Federer at the Wimbledon men's singles final on Sunday.

The Swiss superstar has equalled the record of seven Wimbledon wins, and has become number one in the world again.

Murray was tearful and heartbroken, crying on centre court after his loss.

It's the closest any British player has come to a Wimbledon title for 74 years.

But is Murray still a hero? We want to know what you think.

Do you need to win to be called a hero? Is it heroic to cry? Maybe you think Federer is the only hero this time. If someone loses, are they still great?
