A GALAXY of stars gave Andy Murray a victory salute last night - as he waved bye-bye to another Wimbledon opponent.

Britain's Olympic heroes roared on the 22-year-old who ROUTED Serb Viktor Troicki in straight sets.

Girlfriend Kim Sears, 21, was at Centre Court to see him triumph too.

And Andy, from Dunblane, Perthshire, was also cheered on by pop sensation Justin Timberlake, 28.

The royal box had been given over for the day to two dozen Olympic champs.

Among them was triple gold medal- winning cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, 33, who applauded wildly as Andy clinched his place in the final 16. Fellow biker Victoria Pendleton, 28, joined the Scot, next to rowing legends Sir Steve Redgrave, 47, and Sir Matthew Pinsent, 39.

With them were yachtsman Ben Ainslie, 32, runner Dame Kelly Holmes, 39, and triple jumper Jonathan Edwards, 43.

Tennis icon Martina Navratilova, 52, also saw Andy win 6-2, 6-3, 6-4.

Afterwards Andy said: "I'm going to have to play better if I want to come home with the title, but it was great to play in front of the best athletes the UK has had over the last 15 to 20 years.

"Chris congratulated me on the way I played and wished me luck for the rest of the tournament. I didn't know whether to call him Sir or not!"
