Biography

Sir Andrew Barron Murray (born 15 May 1987) is a British former professional tennis player and coach. He was ranked as the world No. 1 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for 41 weeks, including as the year-end No. 1 in 2016. Murray won 46 ATP Tour singles titles, including three majors at the 2012 US Open, 2013 Wimbledon Championships, and 2016 Wimbledon Championships. He also won two gold medals at the Summer Olympics, the 2016 ATP World Tour Finals, 14 Masters events, and finished runner-up at eight other majors for a total of eleven major finals. Murray began his professional career at the time Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were the dominant players in men's tennis. Murray had rapid success on the ATP Tour, making his top 10 debut in 2007 at age 19. By 2010, Murray and Novak Djokovic had joined Federer and Nadal in the Big Four, the group of players who dominated men's tennis in the 2010s. Murray initially struggled against the rest of the Big Four, losing his first four major finals, but won an Olympic gold medal over Federer at the 2012 London Olympics. He then defeated Djokovic in the final of the 2012 US Open, becoming the first British major singles champion since Virginia Wade in 1977. He then beat Djokovic to win Wimbledon in 2013, the first home champion at the men's singles event since Fred Perry in 1936. In 2015, he led Great Britain to its first Davis Cup title in the Open Era, winning a record eleven rubbers in the event. Murray had his career-best season in 2016, when he reached the finals of three majors, winning a second career Wimbledon crown. He defended his Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics to become the only player, male or female, to win two Olympic gold medals in singles. Murray became world No. 1 for the first time on 7 November 2016, and clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking and by winning the ATP Finals over Djokovic. After 2016 he struggled with a hip injury that required major hip-resurfacing surge
