Andy Murray sponsor’s Under Armour came second with 179 and Evian third.
Across social reaction to the The Tournament, nostalgia for footballers past pipped appreciation of tennis players present. David Beckham’s selfie with his mum inspired 1.1 million social interactions on Instagram and Twitter, 2000 comments and more than 1 million likes. Second was Roger Federer’s post championship winning post which received many congratulatory comments but not as many likes. With just one photo, Beckham eclipsed mentions of every present day tennis star. Serena Williams attracted more interactions (1.25m) on Instagram, but had to post six times to do so.
In his caption, Beckham also referred to his sponsor, Ralph Lauren, giving them a reckonable social boost.
Murray lost more than his title. More bad news came from the Battle of Murray’s Mount v Henman Hill. In UK social media, 60% of all references with 5066 social users, referred to Henman’s Hill compared with 3352 for Murray Mount.
