Prime Minister David Cameron says Andy Murray deserves a knighthood after becoming the first Briton to win the Wimbledon men's singles since 1936.
Murray won the title with a 6-4 7-5 6-4 triumph against world number one Novak Djokovic on Sunday.
"I can't think of anyone who deserves one more," said Cameron, who watched the match from the Royal Box.
But Murray said: "It's a nice thing to have or be offered but I don't know if it merits that."
Cameron said Murray's win had "lifted the spirits of the whole country".
The prime minister cannot personally award an honour to the 26-year-old, stressing that they are awarded independently.
People are nominated for their achievements by members of the public and whether they are given an honour - and the type of honour - is decided by a committee.
