Something else is making the rounds, though I'm not sure other media outlets would have shown. A brief background - Alex Salmond is the leader of the Scottish National Party, the majority party in Scotland and the one spearheading the campaign for Scottish independence from the UK, which will be voted upon in September next year. At the match, he was sitting behind the Prime Minister, David Cameron, who's totally against it and is very much pro union/UK. Well, after Murray won there was an image of Salmond waiving a big Scottish flag behind Cameron. Classic.
