And surely only hardened cynics would ignore the fact that Britain’s last singles title winner, Virginia Wade, had her moment of glory in 1977.

Belief that seven is a lucky number goes back centuries – while the ‘curse of Cameron’ had only gained credence in recent months.

The Prime Minister had been accused of being a bad omen after his hopes of victory heralded failure for sports stars including female tennis player Laura Robson, cyclist Mark Cavendish and diver Tom Daley.

He sent his best wishes to British number one Laura Robson, 19, shortly before her fourth-round exit last week.

But Mr Cameron defied those begging him to stay away from this year’s final by sitting in the Royal Box at Centre Court and clapping enthusiastically at every point Murray won.

Before the match Mr Cameron said: ‘I think the whole country has been incredibly impressed, not just with his skill but with his courage and his mental courage in coming through to the final yet again.

‘The whole country is right behind you Andy – go for it.’

Murray had defended Mr Cameron’s good luck messages and seemed unperturbed by the ‘Jonah’ Premier being present.
