Celebrating Women in Sport

It was quite a late night last night as I was at the BT Sport Action Woman of the Year awards.  I had been nominated for the award - but the shortlist was packed with really impressive, strong successful women, so I was proud to just be among them and recognised for my last year.  I was a little in awe sitting in a studio full of really inspiring women to be honest!

The awards show was recorded for broadcasting on BBC Sport channel and Clare Balding interviewed me on stage about my year.  I don't know if you've had a chance to see it, but I really meant it as a compliment when I likened my doubles partner, Yui, to a shopping bag, although it might have seemed a bit odd at the time!

Congratulations to the overall winner of the award, Charlotte Dujardin and to all those, like myself, who were nominated and recognised for our achievements.  It made me very proud to be a woman in sport, and in British sport.

I had my eye on the trophy, hopefully next year!

It's always lovely to see Judy Murray
