Murray’s Wimbledon win was `most talked about topic` in UK in 2013

London – Andy Murray’s magnificent Wimbledon victory was officially the hottest topic on Facebook in the UK in 2013, according to reports.

Other events in the top 10 included England retaining the Ashes over Australia in August, The X Factor returning to our screens and the Bedroom Tax being introduced in the UK, the report said.

While Murray’s second Grand Slam victory was the hot topic in the UK the most talked about topic on the planet in 2013 was the election of Pope Francis in May, the report added.
