Andrew "Andy" Murray (born 15 May 1987) is a British professional tennis player who is currently the highest-ranked British player. Murray achieved a top 10 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals for the first time on 16 April 2007. In 2008, Murray finished runner-up to Roger Federer at the 2008 US Open, and he reached a career-high ranking of World No. 3 in May 2009.

In 2005, Murray won the BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year Award and the sport section of the Top Scot awards. His elder brother Jamie is a top 100 doubles player. Murray is most proficient on a fast surface (such as hard courts), although he has worked hard since 2008 on improving his clay court game. Murray works with a team of fitness experts, and Miles Maclagan is his main coach. He was previously coached by American Brad Gilbert, who used to coach former World No. 1 players Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick.

Personal life

Andy Murray was born to Willie and Judy in Glasgow, Scotland. His maternal grandfather was a professional footballer who played reserve team matches for Hibernian and senior football for Stirling Albion; Murray has a bipartite patella, where the kneecap remains as two separate bones instead of fusing together in early childhood. Murray attended Dunblane Primary School, where he experienced the Dunblane Massacre of 1996. Thomas Hamilton killed 17 people, mostly children who were in a younger age group than Murray, before turning one of his four guns on himself. Murray himself took cover in a classroom. Murray says he was too young to understand what was happening and is reluctant to talk about it in interviews, but in his autobiography Hitting Back he says that he attended a youth group run by Hamilton, and that his mother gave him rides in her car. Murray went on to attend Dunblane High School.

Andy's girlfriend, since 2006, is Kim Sears, daughter of Nigel Sears, former tennis coach of the Slovak player Daniela Hantuchová. The couple live in a house in Surrey.

Andy supports two professional football teams. As a result of his grandfather playing for Hibernian, Murray supports them as well as Wolverhampton Wanderers due to Great Britain's Davis Cup Captain, John Lloyd's (a noted Wolves fan himself) influence. Murray is often seen wearing his Wolves shirt that was presented to him by Lloyd.

Junior tennis

Murray first picked up a tennis racquet when he was two years old, and was soon playing with his older brother Jamie. Leon Smith, Murray's tennis coach from 11 to 17, said he'd never seen a five-year-old like Murray, describing him as "unbelievably competitive". Murray attributes his abilities to the motivation gained from losing to Jamie, who had been the second-best junior player in the world. He first beat Jamie in an under-12s final in Solihull, afterwards teasing Jamie until his brother hit him hard enough to lose a nail on his left hand. At 12, Murray won the Orange Bowl, a prestigious event for under-12s. He briefly moved away from tennis, turning towards football instead, but soon reverted.

When playing against Rafael Nadal, who was a year older than Murray, he found out Nadal was training with Carlos Moyà, the world number one. Murray was angry that he had only his brother to practice with, so when he was 15 he moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he attended the Schiller International School and trained on the clay courts of the Sánchez-Casal Academy. Murray described this as "a big sacrifice to move away from your family, and spend money training over there when you're not making any back". His schoolwork was also sacrificed during this period; despite being bright, he left without qualifications. While in Spain he trained with Emilio Sánchez, formerly the world number one doubles player. In September 2004, he won the junior US Open and was selected for the Davis Cup match against Austria later that month. Later that year, he won BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.

Career

2005

Murray started the year ranked World No. 407 and ended the year at World No. 64. Of his nineteen singles tournaments, ten were either futures or challenger tournaments. His performances throughout the year drew praise from John McEnroe, who suggested that Murray would overtake Tim Henman as the top ranked British player in 2006. He said, "With Murray the sky's the limit".

In March, Murray was asked to play doubles for Great Britain's Davis Cup team against Israel and became the youngest ever Briton to play in the Davis Cup. Murray and David Sherwood upset the Israeli doubles team, who were ranked World No. 8 and had reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2003, 6–4, 7–6(5), 2–6, 7–6(5). This helped the British team to a 3–2 victory.

Murray turned professional in April and played his first senior tournament when he was given a wild card to the Open SEAT clay court tournament in Barcelona. He lost in the first round to Jan Hernych. After this, he reached the semifinals of the French Open juniors tournament. The Barcelona tournament gave Murray his first ranking point from a senior tournament, and he was soon handed a second wild card, this time at the Stella Artois Championship at Queen's Club in London. He lost his third round match there, at least partly because of muscle cramping. Murray was then awarded a wildcard for Wimbledon. He went into his first senior Grand Slam tournament ranked World No. 312 and caused a major upset by defeating fourteenth-seeded Radek Štěpánek in the second round in straight sets. He was the first Scottish man in the open era to reach the third round at Wimbledon and was the only Briton remaining in the men's or ladies' singles championship. Murray's run ended when he was beaten by David Nalbandian in the third round after Murray won the first two sets. Mark Petchey, who had been coaching Murray part-time through Wimbledon, was then confirmed as the player's full time coach.

Murray played seven main tour and challenger tournaments during the U.S. summer hard court season. After losing in the second round of the main tour tournament in Newport, Rhode Island, he won his first title at the Aptos, California challenger hard court event without dropping a set. Two weeks later, he lost in the second round of the tournament in Indianapolis, Indiana to Mardy Fish. A wildcard afforded him entry to the ATP Masters Series tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he played his first match against a top-ten player, Marat Safin, in the second round. Murray lost the match in three sets. Because Murray was ranked World No. 122 and was not given a wildcard, he had to qualify for the US Open. When the main draw started, he lost in the second round to Arnaud Clement 6–2, 7–6(2), 2–6, 6–7(4), 6–0. On 3 October, his ranking reached the top 100 at World No. 72 after losing to World No. 1 Roger Federer in the final of the Thailand Open. Federer was on a 30-match winning streak coming into the match while Murray was playing in his first senior final.

After playing a challenger event in Mons, Belgium, Murray played the Davidoff Swiss Indoors in Basel in October. He played the top ranked British player, World No. 28 Tim Henman, for the first time in a professional match, with Murray winning 6–2, 5–7, 7–6(4). He defeated Tomas Berdych in the second round before losing in the quarterfinals to World No. 17 Fernando González 6–4, 3–6, 6–1. Murray's year ended with this tournament.

In December, Murray won the BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year 2005.

2006

Murray started the year ranked World No. 64.

Murray began the year with second round defeats to higher ranked players at tournaments in Adelaide, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand. After winning his first round match against Kenneth Carlsen in Auckland, Murray told an on-court reporter that he thought "we both played like women in the first set". He later explained that he was merely referring to remarks by female player Svetlana Kuznetsova during a Hopman Cup match. In Melbourne the following week, Murray played and lost his first career match at the Australian Open, to Juan Ignacio Chela.

Murray lost another first round match in Zagreb, Croatia to World No. 5 Ivan Ljubicic but then won his first ATP title, the SAP Open in San Jose, California. He defeated former World No. 1 players Andy Roddick in the semifinals and Lleyton Hewitt in the final. He was upset in the quarterfinals of his next tournament in Memphis, Tennessee by Robin Söderling. That was followed by a second round loss at the 2006 Indian Wells Masters and a first round loss at the 2006 Miami Masters.

In April, Murray teamed with Greg Rusedski to lose a Davis Cup doubles match against Serbia & Montenegro in Glasgow. Murray incurred a $2,500 fine for swearing at the umpire during this match. His words were over a line call, which were caught on microphone and televised live. Later he admitted swearing, saying "We got an absolute shocker and I told the umpire how bad he was".

On European clay, Murray failed to advance past the second round in five consecutive tournaments, including three ATP Masters Series events and a first round loss to Gael Monfils at the French Open. Murray's muscle cramping problems contributed to his defeat in the first round of the Monte Carlo Masters, and he was hampered by a back problem in his defeat at the French Open. Murray attributed his fitness problems to the fact that he was still growing, saying, "I had an X-ray and it showed the bones aren't fully grown. That's why my back gets sore and that's why I get cramp. I've worked hard on getting it stronger. I'll be fitter next year."

In the United Kingdom on grass, Murray was upset in the first round of the Stella Artois Championships at Queen's Club by World No. 114 Janko Tipsarevic. He reached the quarterfinals in Nottingham where he was upset by Italian Andreas Seppi. Murray seemed to break out of his slump by defeating World No. 5 Roddick in straight sets in the third round of Wimbledon before losing in straight sets to World No. 16 Marcos Baghdatis in the fourth round. Immediately after Wimbledon, Murray won a singles match but lost a doubles match as Great Britain lost a Davis Cup tie to Israel in Eastbourne, United Kingdom. Continuing on grass in the United States, Murray was upset in the semifinals of the tournament in Newport, Rhode Island by Justin Gimelstob.

Murray played four tournaments during the North American summer hard court season. He was the runner-up at the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington, D.C., where he was defeated by Arnaud Clement. He was a semifinalist at the ATP Masters Series event in Toronto and a quarterfinalist at the ATP Masters Series event in Cincinnati. At the latter tournament, Murray defeated Tim Henman in the first round and, in the second round, became one of only two players to defeat Roger Federer in 2006. Murray eventually lost to Roddick in the quarterfinals. Murray was ranked World No. 19 entering the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, the US Open. He upset World No. 11 Fernando Gonzalez in the third round before losing to World No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko in the fourth round 6–1, 5–7, 6–3, 6–0.

This was followed by his final Davis Cup appearance of the year, in which he won both singles rubbers in straight sets and lost the doubles en route to a British victory over Ukraine, which ensured the team's continued presence in group 1 of the Europe/Africa zone for 2007.

In his last four tournaments of the year, he lost to Henman in the first round of the Thailand Open. He reached the final of the doubles there, partnered by his brother. The following week at the tournament in Tokyo, Murray was upset in the second round after receiving a first round bye. Murray defeated World No. 3 Ivan Ljubičić in the second round of the ATP Masters Series tournament in Madrid before losing to Novak Djokovic in the third round. Murray also lost in the third round of his last tournament of the year, the ATP Masters Series tournament in Paris.

Murray ended the year at World No. 17, his career best to that point.

2007

At the Australian Open, Murray lost to world number two Rafael Nadal in the fourth round, after being seeded 15th. In the first round he had equalled the largest-ever victory at the tournament in the Open Era, when he only dropped one game against Alberto Martin. Andy Murray successfully defended his San Jose title, beating Ivo Karlović in a closely fought final. His brother also won the doubles title. They became the first pair of brothers to win singles and doubles titles at the same event since Emilio and Javier Sánchez at Kitzbühel in 1989. At the Indian Wells Masters event Murray made it to the semi-finals where he was beaten by Novak Djokovic. On his way there he had beaten world number four Nikolay Davydenko. Despite the loss, he rose to a career high ranking of 12th in the world. At the Miami Masters he lost to Djokovic again, only winning one game in the match. However, he did rise to a career high ranking of 11th in the world. Shortly after, Murray clinched a place in the top 10 at the expense of Tommy Haas.

At the Hamburg Masters Murray withdrew with a wrist injury in the first round. The injury forced him to withdraw from the French Open, Queen's, and Wimbledon. Murray's ranking initially rose to number 8 due to other players failing to defend point, but then dropped to 14th. After returning from injury, Murray lost in the second round of the Rogers Cup, the first round of the Cincinnati Masters, and the third round of the U.S. Open. His world ranking fell to number 19. Murray then won a £50,000 exhibition event; the Betfair Turbo Tennis tournament at the O2 Arena in London. He defeated former Wimbledon Champion Goran Ivanišević in the final. Murray went on to compete for Great Britain in the Davis Cup tie against Croatia played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. He played, and won, two singles rubbers, helping Great Britain to victory.

Murray started the Autumn indoor season by reaching the final at the Metz International in France. Murray then headed to the Kremlin Cup in Moscow, where he lost in the second round. Murray also spoke out in the British press claiming that "everyone is aware" of the match fixing problems that exist in tennis. Murray then lost in the third round of the Madrid Masters to world number two Rafael Nadal. He then won in St Petersburg, beating Fernando Verdasco in the final. Murray then played in the Paris Masters where he was beaten by Richard Gasquet in the quarterfinals. This defeat ended his chances of qualification for the 2007 Tennis Masters Cup, while Gasquet received the last available place. After the tournament, Murray stood at number 12.

In late November, Murray split from coach Brad Gilbert, replacing him with a "team of coaches".

2008

Murray trained hard in the off-season, working with fitness experts Jez Green, Matt Little and Miles Maclagan in Miami, leading Murray to say he had never been better prepared for a season.He gradually gained weight through weight training and went from 150 lbs in 2006 to 180 lbs in 2008. He has since gained another 10 lbs. Murray won his first tournament, the 2008 Qatar ExxonMobil Open, defeating top seed and world number four Nikolay Davydenko in the semifinals, before defeating Stanislas Wawrinka in the final. Murray's ranking rose to within the top 10. Murray was seeded ninth at the 2008 Australian Open, his first time in the Top 10 seeds at a Grand Slam, but lost to eventual runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the first round. Murray withdrew from Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Argentina, a decision that provoked controversy; his brother Jamie commented, "It's not that Andy doesn't enjoy the Davis Cup, it's just that he obviously felt that it was more important for him to concentrate on Marseille and play well there rather than come here." Murray won his fifth career title at his next tournament in Marseille, defeating Mario Ančić in the final. In Murray's opening match in Dubai, he defeated world number one Roger Federer but exited in the quarter-finals; Murray posted early losses at the subsequent Masters Series events in Indian Wells and Miami.

In a bid to improve his results on clay Murray began working with former French Open runner-up Alex Corretja. However, Murray failed to go beyond the third round of any the clay court tournaments, including the French Open. At Queen's, Murray reached the quarterfinals before withdrawing with a thumb injury. Murray was seeded twelfth at Wimbledon. He reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal where he was beaten by Rafael Nadal. In the fourth round Murray had defeated Richard Gasquet after Gasquet had served for the match in the third set.

Murray returned to action on the US Open Series, his most successful series so far. In the Toronto Masters he reached the semi-finals, defeating Novak Djokovic for the first time on his route there, before defeating Djokovic again in the final of the Cincinnati Masters, to win his first Master Series shield. This ensured that Murray reached a career high of No. 6 in the world. After winning in Cincinnati, Murray went into the men's singles at the 2008 Summer Olympics as one of the favourites for gold, but he suffered a shock defeat to Lu Yen-Hsun of Taiwan in the first round. Murray also entered the men's doubles, where he was paired with his brother Jamie. Andy and Jamie reached the second round where they were beated by the French duo of Arnaud Clément and Michaël Llodra in straight sets.

In the U.S. Open, Murray progressed from the third round by coming back from being two sets down against Jürgen Melzer. He then beat 10th seed Stanislas Wawrinka and 17th seed Juan Martín del Potro to reach the semi-finals. Del Potro was on a 23-match winning streak. Murray was assured of a world ranking high of No. 4 by reaching the semi-final, benefitting from the losses of David Ferrer, Andy Roddick and Nikolay Davydenko.

Murray at the US Open.

Murray played top seed Rafael Nadal in the semi-final, which was moved forward and on to the Louis Armstrong Stadium court owing to rain expected to be caused by Hurricane Hanna. Murray won the first two sets, 6–2, 7–6(5), but Nadal however, was up a break in the third set as the play was suspended owing to the rain's arrival. The match continued on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court the following day, with Murray triumphing 6–2, 7–6(5), 4–6, 6–4. Murray became the first British man since Greg Rusedski in 1997 to reach the final of a Grand Slam, and only the third in the open era (John Lloyd being the first, in 1977). Rusedski said, "There's no doubt Murray's playing the best tennis of the two players. He's been so impressive." Describing the semi-final result as "awesome", Murray was asked about his prospects in the final, saying, "Roger's played better in his last couple of matches after struggling earlier in the tournament. I'm going to have to play great to have a chance of winning that." He called it an "honour" to play against "probably the greatest player ever" in a Slam final. "I've played well against him in the past. Hopefully I can do the same again." Murray lost the final to Roger Federer in straight sets, 6–2, 7–5, 6–2.

At the 2008 Madrid Masters, Murray reached the semi-finals where he defeated World No. 2 Roger Federer in a rematch of their US Open final. Murray won in three sets, to bring their overall head-to-head record to 3–2 in Murray's favour, making him one of only two players to have a positive record against Federer (the other being Rafael Nadal). In the tournament final, he defeated Gilles Simon to win his fourth title of the year as well as securing back-to-back Masters Series titles. He became the first Briton to win multiple Masters Series titles, and the first to win four titles in a single season. He won the St. Petersburg Open on 26 October with a 6–1, 6–1 victory over Andrey Golubev, which was his 23rd victory in 25 matches. His defense of the title made him the first British player to win back-to-back titles since Mark Cox in March 1975 when Cox won at London and Washington. Murray then competed in the end of season Masters Cup. He won all of his round robin matches, defeating Andy Roddick, Gilles Simon and Roger Federer. His win against Federer eliminated his opponent from the competition. Murray then lost to Nikolay Davydenko in the semifinal.

2009

Murray started 2009 by beating James Blake, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal, to win the 2009 Capitala World Tennis Championship, an exhibition championship in Abu Dhabi. He followed this with a title defense at the Qatar Open in Doha, defeating Andy Roddick in the final. Seeded fourth at the Australian Open Murray lost in the fourth round to Fernando Verdasco. Prior to the tournament, Murray had been named by some bookmakers and journalists as one of the favourites to win the title. These assertions had been seen to cause irritation to Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who were quick to cite Murray's lack of any Grand Slam wins when questioned about his ability to take the Open. Murray himself had made the comment that, while he didn't "understand the whole thing", he thought that he'd been playing well enough recently "to be in that sort of group".

Murray won his next tournament, the ABN AMRO Tournament, beating World No. 1 Rafael Nadal in the final. Murray withdrew from the Marseille Open, which he won in 2008, due to an injury to his right ankle which he sustained in Rotterdam. He next competed in the Dubai Tennis Championships reaching the quarter-finals, before withdrawing from his match with Richard Gasquet citing a virus. This virus also forced Murray to withdraw from Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against Ukraine. Murray then headed to the United States for the first two Masters Series events of the year. In Indian Wells he reached the final for the first time in his career, where he lost to world No.1 Rafael Nadal and at the Miami Masters he won the tournament defeating Novak Djokovic in the final. With that victory Murray equaled the same number of career titles (11) won by Tim Henman during his total career..

Murray started the clay court season at the Monte-Carlo Masters, the third Masters Series event of the year. He reached the semi-finals - where he lost to world number 1 Rafael Nadal - with a win over Nikolay Davydenko, his second match in one day due to rain the previous day. Murray reached the quarter-finals for the first time on clay, when he beat Fabio Fognini in the third round.

After receiving a bye in the first round of the 2009 Rome Masters, Murray lost to Argentine qualifier Juan Monaco 6–1, 3–6, 5–7 in the second round. This was Murray's first opening round loss since the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Although he lost in the opening round, he took over as World No. 3 on 11 May 2009, as Novak Djokovic failed to defend the title in Rome. He became the first recent British player to achieve this ranking, with Greg Rusedski and Tim Henman having reached highs of number 4. At the Madrid Masters Murray received a first round bye and defeated Simone Bolelli 7-6 6-4 and Tommy Robredo 7-6 6-1 in the following rounds. However he lost his quarter-final match to Juan Martin del Potro 6-7 3-6 despite being 5-2 up with a break in the first set.

Murray made the quarter-finals of the 2009 French Open.

In the 2009 French Open's first round Murray beat Juan Ignacio Chela, a quarter finalist in 2004. He followed this up with a victory over Potito Starace in the second round. He beat Janko Tipsarevic in the third round, Tipsarevic retiring after losing the first two sets, and in his fourth round encounter he beat the 13th seed Marin Cilic in straight sets 7-5 7-6(4) 6-1. He lost in the quarter-finals to the 12th seed Fernando Gonzalez, in four sets, 6-3 3-6 6-0 6-4. This result has bettered Murray's best performance at Roland Garros, having reached the third round last year.

Murray started the grass court season with a win at the AEGON Championships, Queen's Club. He defeated Andreas Seppi 6-1 6-4 in the second round after receiving a bye in the first. He then went on to beat Spaniard Guillermo García-López 6-4 6-4 in the Third round. He played Mardy Fish in the quarter finals winning 7-5, 6-3, and in the semi finals he defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero, a former world number 1 player and 2003 French Open champion, 6-2, 6-4, to reach the final against James Blake. He went on to win the final 7-5 6-4 to become the first British winner of the tournament since 1938. The AEGON Championships at Queen's Club is Murray's first tournament win on the grass surface.

Murray was seeded third for Wimbledon, however due to the defending champion, Rafael Nadal, withdrawing from the tournament, he became the second highest seeded player after Roger Federer, making him the highest seeded player in his half of the draw. Murray beat the world number 76, American Robert Kendrick, in the first round. He then beat Latvian Ernest Gulbis, the world number 74, in straight sets in the second round.

Playing style

Early in his career, most of his main tour wins came on hard courts. Although he claimed to prefer clay courts, because of his training in Barcelona as a junior player.

Murray has an offensive and defensive baseline playing style. He can hit fundamental shots from anywhere on the court. He is well-known for his defensive capabilities and can turn a defense shot into an aggressive one. He now has a reputation for being one of the fittest men on the tour even rivaling that of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Many legends and commentators of the game believe Murray has one of the best backhands in the world, he can hit cross-court winners or down the line with great efficiency and ease. Murray has a good forehand, but one of his main strengths is his ability to apply pace to his forehand when he needs to; again highlighting his aggressive abilities.

Murray is known for being one of best tacticians on the court at constructing points.

National identity

Murray identifies himself as "Scottish, but also British". Prior to Wimbledon 2006, Murray caused some public debate when he was quoted as saying he would "support anyone but England" at the 2006 World Cup. He received large amounts of hate mail on his website as a result. It was also reported (incorrectly, it turned out) that Murray had worn a Paraguay shirt on the day of England's World Cup match with the South American team.

Murray explained that his comments were said in jest during a light-hearted interview with sports columnist Des Kelly, who asked him if he would be supporting Scotland in the World Cup, in the knowledge that Scotland had failed to qualify for the tournament. Kelly stated another tabloid had later "lifted a couple of them [comments] into a 'story' that took on a life of its own and from there the truth was lost" and that he despaired over the "nonsensical criticism".

Murray protested that he is "not anti-English and never was" and he expressed disappointment over England's subsequent elimination by Portugal. In an interview with Nicky Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Live, Tim Henman confirmed that the remarks had been made in jest and were only in response to Murray being teased by Kelly and Henman. He also stated that the rumour that Murray had worn a Paraguay shirt was untrue.

In an interview with Gabby Logan for the BBC's Inside Sport programme, Andy said that he was both Scottish and British and was comfortable and happy with his British identity. He said he saw no conflict between the two and was equally proud of them. He has also pointed out that he is quarter English with some of his family originating from Newcastle, his coach is Scottish and that his girlfriend, Kim Sears, is English.
