Sir Andrew Barron Murray (born 15 May 1987) is a British former professional tennis player and current coach. He was ranked world No. 1 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for 41 weeks, and finished as the year-end No. 1 in 2016. Murray won three Grand Slam singles titles, two at Wimbledon (in 2013 and 2016), and one at the US Open (in 2012), and reached eleven major finals. Murray was ranked in the top 10 for all but one month from July 2008 through to October 2017, and was in the top 4 in eight of the nine year-end rankings during that time. Murray won 46 ATP Tour singles titles, including 14 Masters 1000 events and two gold medals at the Summer Olympics.
Originally coached by his mother Judy alongside his older brother Jamie, Murray moved to Barcelona at age 15 to train at the Sánchez-Casal Academy. He began his professional career around the time Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal established themselves as the two dominant players in men's tennis. Murray had immediate 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 during the 2010s. Murray initially struggled against the rest of the Big Four, losing his first four major finals (three to Federer and one to Djokovic). He made his major breakthrough in 2012 by defeating Federer to win the London Olympics and defeating Djokovic to win the US Open, becoming the first British major singles champion since Virginia Wade in 1977, and the first male champion since Fred Perry in 1936. He also beat Djokovic to win Wimbledon in 2013.
Murray had his career-best season in 2016, when he made three major finals, winning Wimbledon. He defended his title at the 2016 Rio Olympics to become the only player, male or female, to win two Olympic gold medals in singles. Murray also became world No. 1 for the first time in 2016, and clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking by winning the Tour Finals title over Djokovic. After 2016, he struggled with various injuries and fell out of the top 100 in 2018 due to only seldom playing on tour, though he slowly rose back to the top 50 in the 2020s. He played his final professional tennis tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Murray was an all-court player who excelled in particular at defence, returning serve and constructing points. He was generally regarded as having one of the most consistent two-handed backhands on the ATP Tour. Murray is credited with re-establishing the United Kingdom as a leading force in men's tennis for the first time since the early 20th century. He and his brother led the Great Britain Davis Cup team to a title in 2015. Murray has been outspoken on issues of equality, and became only the second top-10 player in the history of the ATP Tour to have a female coach when he hired Amélie Mauresmo in 2014. Shortly following his playing career, Murray anounced a coaching partnership with his old rival Djokovic for the 2025 Australian Open.
Early and personal life
[edit]Andy Murray was born in Glasgow, Scotland, the son of Judy Murray (née Erskine) and William Murray.[4] His maternal grandfather, Roy Erskine, was a professional footballer in the late 1950s.[12] Murray is a supporter of Hibernian Football Club, one of the teams his grandfather represented,[13][14] and Arsenal Football Club.[15] Murray began playing tennis at the age of three, when his mother Judy took him to play on the local courts.[16] He played in his first competitive tournament at age five and by the time he was eight he was competing with adults in the Central District Tennis League.[17] Murray's elder brother, Jamie, is also a professional tennis player.[18][19][20][21][22]
Murray grew up in Dunblane and attended Dunblane Primary School. Both he and his brother were present during the 1996 Dunblane school massacre,[23] when Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and a teacher before shooting himself; Murray took cover in a classroom.[24] Murray says he was too young to understand what was happening and is generally reluctant to talk about it in interviews,[25] but in his autobiography Hitting Back he states that he attended a youth group run by Hamilton and his mother gave Hamilton lifts in her car.[26] Murray later attended Dunblane High School.[27][28]
Murray's parents split up when he was 10, with the boys living with their father while being mentored in tennis by their mother.[29] He believes this could be the reason behind his competitive spirit.[30] At 15, he was asked to train with Rangers Football Club at their School of Excellence, but declined, opting to focus on his tennis career.[31] He then decided to move to Barcelona, Spain. There he studied at the Schiller International School in Florida and trained on the clay courts of the Sánchez-Casal Academy, coached by Pato Alvarez.[32] Murray described this time as "a big sacrifice".[28] His parents had to pay £40,000 for his 18-month stay.[29] In Spain, he trained with Emilio Sánchez, former world No. 1 doubles player.[28]
Murray was born with a bipartite patella, a condition in which the kneecap remains as two separate bones instead of fusing together in early childhood. It was not diagnosed until he was aged 16. He has been seen holding his knee due to the pain caused by the condition and has withdrawn from tournaments because of it.[33]
In February 2013, Murray bought Cromlix House hotel near Dunblane for £1.8 million. The hotel had been closed since 2012,[34] but Murray reopened it in April 2014.[35] Later that month Murray was awarded the freedom of Stirling and received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Stirling in recognition of his services to tennis.[36]
Murray began dating Kim Sears, daughter of player-turned-coach Nigel Sears, in 2005.[37][38] Their engagement was announced in November 2014,[38] and they married on 11 April 2015 at Dunblane Cathedral.[39] The couple previously lived in Oxshott, Surrey,[1] but in 2022, moved to nearby Leatherhead.[40] The newly constructed house will accommodate their young family, consisting of their son and three daughters; the youngest, a girl, was born in March 2021.[41][42][43][44][45]
Murray has been repeatedly vocal in his support for women players and coaches.[46][47] He is also a vocal supporter of LGBT+ rights and supports same-sex marriage.[48] In June 2020, he also lent his support to the Black Lives Matter movement, when he and fellow players took a knee during the Schroders Battle of the Brits exhibition tournament.[49][50]
Junior career
[edit]Leon Smith, Murray's tennis coach from 11 to 17,[32] described Murray as "unbelievably competitive", while Murray attributes his abilities to the motivation gained from losing to his older brother Jamie. In 1999 Murray was a champion in the Orange Bowl, an international tournament for junior players, winning in the 12-year-old category.[51][52]
In January 2001, Murray participated in the Petits As tournament, an event for players under 14, and it was here that he began his rivalry with Novak Djokovic, beating him 6–0, 6–1 in the quarterfinals.[53][54] In the semis, Murray overcame Mischa Zverev, but lost the final to Russia's Alexandre Krasnoroutskiy.[55] He then led the British team to victory in the European Winter Cup and won a title in Telford, finishing the season as the No. 2 in the ETA ranking for U14s, only behind Djokovic.[54]
In July 2003, Murray started out on the Challenger and Futures circuit. In his first tournament, he reached the quarter-finals of the Manchester Challenger.[56] In September, Murray won his first senior title by taking the Glasgow Futures event.[57] He also reached the semi-finals of the Edinburgh Futures event.[58]
For the first six months of 2004, Murray had a knee injury and could not play.[59] In July 2004, Murray played a Challenger event in Nottingham, where he lost to future Grand Slam finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the second round.[60] Murray then went on to win Futures events in Xàtiva[61] and Rome.[62]
In September 2004, he won the Junior US Open and was selected for the Davis Cup World Group play-off match against Austria later that month;[63] however, he was not selected to play. Later that year, he won BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.[64]
As a junior, Murray reached as high as No. 6 in the world in 2003 (and No. 8 in doubles). In the 2004-instated combined rankings, he reached No. 2 in the world.[65]

2008: First major final and Masters titles
[edit]In 2008, Murray suffered a first round loss at the Australian Open to eventual runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and a third round loss at the French Open to Nicolás Almagro.[123] Murray then made his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Wimbledon before making his first final at the US Open. During the tournament in New York, Murray claimed his first win over Nadal. That victory meant that he became the first player from Britain since Greg Rusedski in 1997 to reach a major final.[124] In his first Grand Slam final Murray suffered a straight sets loss to Federer.[125][126] At the Beijing Olympics, Murray suffered one of the worst defeats of his career, losing his first round singles match to No. 77 Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan in straight sets.

At Indian Wells, Murray lost in the quarter-finals to Juan Martín del Potro in three sets.[214] In the Miami final against David Ferrer, Murray faced match point in the decider at 5–6, but won on a third-set tiebreaker to win his second Miami Masters title, and overtook Roger Federer into second place in the rankings, ending a near-decade long time period in which either Federer or Rafael Nadal were ranked in the top two.[215] Murray briefly fell back to No. 3, following a third round defeat by Stanislas Wawrinka in Monte-Carlo, but soon reclaimed the No. 2 ranking. Murray lost in the quarter-finals in Madrid to Tomáš Berdych in straight sets.[216]

Despite the Serb being the favourite to win the title throughout the Championships, Murray overcame Djokovic in a straight sets match that lasted over three hours, to become the first British winner of the men's singles title since Fred Perry in 1936 and to extend his winning streak on grass to 18 matches.[223]

He lost to Nadal in straight sets, winning only 6 games.[238] Murray then appointed former women's world No. 1, and two-times slam titlist, Amélie Mauresmo as his coach[239] in a 'historic move' which made Mauresmo the first woman to coach a top male tennis player.[240]
At Wimbledon Grigor Dimitrov ended his 17 match winning-streak on Wimbledon grass (including the 2012 Olympics) with a straight sets win in the quarter finals, meaning Murray failed to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2008.[241] After his defeat at the Championships, Murray dropped to No. 10, his lowest ranking since 2008.[242]
Murray reached back-to-back quarter-finals at the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Masters, losing to eventual champions Jo Wilfried Tsonga,[243] after being a break up in the decider,[244] and Roger Federer, after being two breaks up in the second set, respectively.[245] He made it to the quarter-finals of the 2014 US Open, losing to Novak Djokovic, after earning his first top ten win of the year in the previous round against Jo Wilfried Tsonga.[246] This was the first season since 2009 where Murray failed to reach a grand slam final. As a consequence Murray fell outside of the top 10 rankings for the first time since June 2008.[247]

As a result, Murray became the first British man to reach No. 1 since the introduction of the rankings in 1973.[309] Murray then defeated John Isner in the final in 3 sets to win his fourth consecutive tournament and first Paris Masters title.[310] In November 2016, Murray reached the final of the ATP World Tour Finals for the first time before winning against Novak Djokovic in two sets, thus reaching year-end No. 1[311] and in doing so, became the first player to win a Grand Slam, the ATP World Tour Finals, the men's singles at the Olympic Games and a Masters 1000 title in the same calendar year.

Murray missed the Canadian Open and the Cincinnati Masters due to his hip injury, which led to him losing his No. 1 ranking to Rafael Nadal.[329][330] His injury then forced him to withdraw from the US Open[331] and he did not play again in 2017. As a result of his inactivity, his ranking fell sharply to No. 16, his lowest ranking since May 2008.[332][333] Murray returned to the court to play a charity match against Federer in Glasgow and expressed his hope to return to the tour in Brisbane.[334] The following week, he and Ivan Lendl announced that they had mutually ended their coaching arrangement for a second time.[335]

On 11 January, at a press conference just before the 2019 Australian Open, an emotional Murray announced that he could possibly retire from professional tennis due to struggling physically for a "long time", particularly with his hip injury. He said that he had been suffering with hip pain on a daily basis, and that it caused him to struggle with tasks like putting his shoes and socks on.[357] He said that the Australian Open could be his final tournament, stating: "I'm not sure I can play through the pain for another four or five months".[357] Active and retired tennis players, including Juan Martín del Potro, Kyle Edmund, Bilie Jean King and the other members of the 'Big Four' paid tribute to Murray upon his announcement.[358][359][360]
At the Australian Open Murray lost his opening match against 22nd seed Roberto Bautista Agut in a four-hour, five-setter. At its conclusion, a video montage of tributes featuring other top players Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Sloane Stephens and Caroline Wozniacki played in deference to his impending retirement.[361] In his post-match interview, he stated that he was considering a second hip surgery, and had not yet ruled out a return to the sport upon recovering from the operation.[362]
Bob Bryan urged Murray to have the "Birmingham hip resurfacing (BHR)" operation he underwent in August 2018, involving a cobalt-chrome metal cap being placed over the femur with a matching metal cup in the acetabulum (a conservative bone-saving alternative to a traditional Total Hip Replacement). Bryan informed Murray that the BHR would improve his quality of life and may help him return to the professional tennis tour.[363] On 29 January, Murray announced on Instagram that he had undergone hip resurfacing surgery in London and hoped that it would "be the end of my hip pain."[364] On 7 March, Murray stated in an interview that he was now free of pain in his hip as a result of the surgery and may return to playing competitive tennis, but that he would not rush his comeback.[365]
On 16 May 2019, Murray received his knighthood from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace, two years after he was awarded the honour.[366]

At Indian Wells as a wildcard, he beat Taro Daniel in three sets, marking his 700th tour win, but he lost in the second round to Alexander Bublik in straight sets.[413][414] At Miami as a wildcard, Murray lost in straight sets to world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev in the second round.[415][416]
At Madrid in April[410][417] he beat Dominic Thiem and Denis Shapovalov and then lost to Novak Djokovic (their first match in five years).[418] Murray later withdrew from the match due to a stomach illness, giving Djokovic a walkover.[419]
At Stuttgart, Murray won his first match against a top 5 player since 2016 by beating top seed and world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets. He then beat Nick Kyrgios in straight sets to reach the final, where he lost to Matteo Berrettini in three sets. As a result, Murray's ranking rose to No. 47, entering the top 50 for the first time since 2018.
At Wimbledon, Murray lost in the second round to 20th seed John Isner. At Hall of Fame Open he reached the quarterfinal before losing to the third seed, Alexander Bublik.[420]
Murray had a first-round loss at the Citi Open to Mikael Ymer, as well as a first-round loss to Taylor Fritz, at the Canadian Open as a wildcard.[421][422] At Cincinnati, he lost in the second round to Cameron Norrie.[423]
At the 2022 US Open he lost in the third round to Matteo Berrettini.
2023: Three Challenger titles
[edit]At the 2023 Australian Open, Murray's match against Thanasi Kokkinakis lasted 5 hours and 45 minutes, the longest in Murray's career up until this point and the second longest in the tournament history. He lost to 24th seed Roberto Bautista Agut in the third round.[424][425][426]
He received wildcards for the 2023 Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha, in which he reached the final but was defeated by Daniil Medvedev in straight sets, and the 2023 Dubai Tennis Championships equaling the record of 53, for most wildcards received for a player since 1990, of former player Tommy Haas, who retired in 2017.[427][428][429] At the Indian Wells Masters and Miami Open, Murray lost in the third and first rounds, respectively.[430][431]
In his European clay court season, Murray lost in the first rounds at the Monte-Carlo Masters and Madrid Masters.[432][433] He next played the Aix-en-Provence Challenger in France, where he defeated first seed Tommy Paul in the final in three sets to clinch his first title since 2019.[434] However, he withdrew from the French Open to begin his preparations for the grass season.[435]
Murray began his grass court season with the 2023 Surbiton Trophy Challenger 125 as a wildcard, where he clinched his second title of the season after defeating Jurij Rodionov in the final.[436] His winning streak continued at the 2023 Nottingham Open, another home Challenger 125, where he won the final, beating Arthur Cazaux.[437][438]
At Wimbledon, he lost in the second round to Stefanos Tsitsipas[439] and at the US Open, he lost at the same stage to Grigor Dimitrov.[440]
2024: Retirement, coaching Novak Djokovic
[edit]At the 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships he recorded his 500th hardcourt win over Denis Shapovalov.[441] Murray ruptured ligaments in his left ankle during his third-round defeat to Tomas Machac at the Miami Open in March.[442] He opted against having surgery and returned to action in May at an ATP Challenger event in Bordeaux, France, where he lost his second-round match to Gregoire Barrere in straight sets.[443] He had first-round defeats in both singles and doubles at the French Open.
At Queen's where he also received a wildcard, Murray played the 1000th match of his career, with a win over Alexei Popyrin in three sets. He joined Djokovic, Nadal, Fernando Verdasco and Richard Gasquet as the fifth active player to complete the milestone.[444] However, he suffered yet another injury setback as he had on-court treatment to his back and hip before retiring during the first set of his second round match against Jordan Thompson, which ended up being the last professional singles match of his career.[445]
Murray pulled out of the singles event at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships on the day he was supposed to play his first round match against Tomáš Macháč.[446] This was due to the back injury he sustained at Queen's. Instead, he played in doubles with brother Jamie Murray and was set to play in the mixed doubles with fellow Brit and former US Open champion Emma Raducanu before the latter withdrew due to a wrist injury, thus making the former his last ever Wimbledon match as a professional. On 23 July 2024, Murray announced that he would retire from active professional tennis after the 2024 Paris Olympics, concluding a career spanning nearly two decades.[447] Subsequently, he withdrew from the singles event in the Olympics, deciding to participate only in the doubles event with Dan Evans.[448] He made it to the quarterfinals before losing to third seeds Americans Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul and officially ended his career in August 2024.[449][450]
Since his retirement, Murray has taken up golf and participated in the BTJA Mike Dickson Golf Day in October 2024, where he picked up his first golf trophy.[451]
On November 23, 2024, it was announced via social media that Murray had been hired by his longtime rival Djokovic to serve as his head coach ahead of Djokovic's 2025 season.[452]
Rivalries
[edit]Murray vs. Djokovic
[edit]Novak Djokovic and Murray met 36 times with Djokovic leading 25–11.[453][454] Djokovic leads 5–1 on clay, 20–8 on hard courts, and Murray leads 2–0 on grass. The two are almost exactly the same age, with Murray being only a week older than Djokovic. They went to training camp together, and Murray won the first match they ever played as teenagers. The pair met 19 times in finals, with Djokovic leading 11–8.[453] Ten of the finals were at ATP Masters 1000 events, where they are tied at 5–5. They met in seven major finals: The 2011 Australian Open, the 2012 US Open, the 2013 Australian Open, the 2013 Wimbledon Championships, the 2015 Australian Open, the 2016 Australian Open, and the 2016 French Open. Djokovic won in Australia all four times and at the French Open, Murray emerged as the victor at the US Open and Wimbledon.
They also played a nearly five-hour-long semifinal match in the 2012 Australian Open, in which Djokovic won 7–5 in the fifth set after Murray led 2 sets to 1. Murray and Djokovic met again in 2012 at the London 2012 Olympic Games, with Murray winning in straight sets. During the final of the 2012 Shanghai Masters, Murray held five championship points in the second set, however Djokovic saved each of them and went on to win the title, ending Murray's 12–match winning streak at the event. The three set matches they played in Rome and Shanghai in 2011 and 2012 respectively were voted the ATP World Tour Match of the Year for each respective season.[455][456] Due to the tight competition between 2008 and 2013, many saw this as the emerging rivalry.[457][458] Djokovic went on to dominate the rivalry after the 2013 Wimbledon final, winning 13 of their last 16 matches. In 2016, Murray suffered his fourth loss (his fifth total) in the final of the Australian Open from Djokovic, followed by another defeat in the French Open final, where Djokovic won his first Roland Garros title and completed the Career Grand Slam.[459][460] Murray and Djokovic met in the final at the year's end final of the ATP World Tour Finals for the first time in their rivalry, where the winner would be granted the year-end No. 1 status. Djokovic dropped only one set en route to the final, but lost in straight sets to Murray, who finished the year at No. 1 and became the first British player to achieve this feat.
Murray vs. Federer
[edit]Murray and Roger Federer met 25 times with Federer leading 14–11. Federer leads 12–10 on hard courts and 2–1 on grass, having never met on clay. They met six times at the Grand Slam tournament level, with Federer leading 5–1. After Federer won the first professional match they played, Murray led the first half of the rivalry, with an 8–5 lead in 2010. The second half of the rivalry was dominated by Federer, who leads 9–3 since 2011, and led their overall rivalry since the 2014 ATP World Tour Finals.[461] Federer leads 5–3 in finals, having won each of their Grand Slam final meetings at the 2008 US Open,[125] the 2010 Australian Open, and the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. Murray leads 6–3 in ATP 1000 tournaments and 2–0 in finals. They met five times at the ATP World Tour Finals, with Murray winning in Shanghai in 2008[462] and Federer coming out victorious in London in 2009, 2010, 2012, and in 2014.
In August 2012, Murray met Federer in the final of the London 2012 Olympics at Wimbledon Centre Court, just four weeks after the 2012 Wimbledon Final, in which Federer had defeated Murray to win his record-tying 7th title at the All-England Club. Murray defeated Federer in straight sets to win the gold medal, denying Federer a Career Golden Slam. In 2013 Murray beat Federer for the first time in a major in the semifinals of the Australian Open, prevailing in five sets after Federer had come back twice from a set down.[463] Their last major meeting was at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships semifinals, where a dominant Federer defeated Murray. Murray is one of only three players to have recorded 10 or more victories over Federer. Their last meeting took place at the 2015 Cincinnati Masters semifinals, with Federer winning the match in two close sets, recording his fifth consecutive victory over Murray.[461]
Murray vs. Nadal
[edit]Murray played against Rafael Nadal on 24 occasions starting in 2007, with Nadal leading 17–7. Nadal leads 7–2 on clay, 3–0 on grass and 7–5 on hard courts. The pair often met at Grand Slam level, with nine out of their 24 meetings coming in the majors, with Nadal leading 7–2 (3–0 at Wimbledon, 2–0 at the French Open, 1–1 at the Australian Open and 1–1 at the US Open).[464] Eight of these nine appearances were at the quarterfinal and semifinal level. They never met in a major final, however, Murray leads 3–1 in ATP finals, with Nadal winning at Indian Wells in 2009[465] and Murray winning in Rotterdam the same year,[466] Tokyo[467] in 2011, and at Madrid in 2015.
Murray lost three consecutive major semifinals to Nadal in 2011 from the French Open to the US Open.[468] At the semifinal stage of the 2014 French Open, Nadal triumphed in a dominant straight sets win for the loss of just 6 games. In one of their last meetings, Murray beat Nadal for the first time on clay, and the first time in a Masters 1000 final, at the Madrid Open in 2015.[469] Murray fell to Nadal in the semifinals of the 2016 Monte Carlo Masters, despite taking the first set.[470] Three weeks later they met again at the semifinals of the 2016 Madrid Open, with Murray winning.[471]
Murray vs. Wawrinka
[edit]Murray and Stan Wawrinka played 23 times with Murray leading 13–10. Murray leads 9–4 on hard courts and 3–0 on grass courts while Wawrinka leads 6–1 on clay courts. They also met eight times in the majors, with Wawrinka leading 5–3.[472] They contested some close matches and one of their most notable meetings was in the 2009 Wimbledon fourth round, which Murray won in five sets; this was the first men's match to be played under the Wimbledon roof, having the latest finish for a Wimbledon match at the time.[473] Wawrinka beat Murray in four sets at the 2010 US Open[474] and ended Murray's title defence at the 2013 US Open quarterfinals,[475] but lost as defending champion to Murray in the semifinals of the 2016 French Open.[476]
Playing style
[edit]Murray had an all-court game with an emphasis on defensive baseline play, and in 2009 professional tennis coach Paul Annacone stated that Murray "may be the best counterpuncher on tour today."[477][478] His strengths included groundstrokes with low error rate, the ability to anticipate and react, and his transition from defence to offence with speed, which enabled him to hit winners from defensive positions. Murray also had one of the best two-handed backhands on the tour,[479] while he primarily used his more passive forehand and a sliced backhand to let opponents play into his defensive game before playing more offensively.[480] Tim Henman stated in 2013 that Murray may have the best lob in the game. Murray's tactics often involved passive exchanges from the baseline. He was capable of injecting sudden pace into his groundstrokes to surprise his opponents who were used to the slow rally. Murray was one of the top returners in the game, often able to block back fast serves with his excellent reach and ability to anticipate.[481]
Murray is known for having been one of the most intelligent tacticians on the court, often constructing points.[482][483] Other strengths in his game included his drop shot[484] and net game.[485] As he played predominantly from the baseline, he usually approached the net to volley when finishing points more quickly.[486] Murray was most proficient on a fast surface, like grass, where he won eight singles titles including the Wimbledon Championships and the 2012 Olympic Gold Medal, although hard courts were his preferred surface.[478] He worked hard since 2008 on improving his clay court game,[487] ultimately winning his first clay titles during 2015 at Munich and Madrid, as well as reaching his first French Open final during 2016. While Murray's serve was a major weapon for him, with his first serve reaching speeds of 130 mph or higher on some occasions and winning him many free points,[488] it could become inconsistent when hit under pressure,[489] especially with a more vulnerable and slower second serve. Since the 2011 season, under Ivan Lendl's coaching, Murray played a more offensive game and also worked to improve his second serve, forehand, consistency and mental game which were all crucial to his further success.[488][490][491][492]
Endorsements and equipment
[edit]In 2009, German manufacturer Adidas and Murray signed a five-year deal worth £10 million. This included wearing their range of tennis shoes.[493] The contract with Adidas allowed Murray to keep his shirt sleeve sponsors Shiatzy Chen, Royal Bank of Scotland and Highland Spring. Before he was signed by Adidas in late 2009, he wore Fred Perry apparel.[494] At the end of their contract Adidas decided not to re-sign with Murray,[495] and he began a four-year partnership with Under Armour in December 2014,[496] reportedly worth $25 million.[497] Murray signed with Castore for the 2019 season which Murray called his last deal before announcing his retirement.[498][499] Murray used Head rackets, and appeared in advertisements for the brand.[500]
Coaches
[edit]Murray's coach has changed through the years: Leon Smith (1998–2004), Pato Álvarez (2003–2005), Mark Petchey (2005–2006), Brad Gilbert (2006–2007), Miles Maclagan (2007–2010), Àlex Corretja (2010–2011), Ivan Lendl (2011–2014, 2016–2017, 2022–2023), Amélie Mauresmo (2014–2016), Jonas Björkman (2015),[501] Jamie Delgado (2016–2021).[502] In 2022 he was briefly coached by Dani Vallverdu;[410] Ivan Lendl was his coach from March 2022 until November 2023.[503][504]
Charitable work
[edit]Murray is a founding member of the Malaria No More UK Leadership Council and helped launch the charity in 2009 with David Beckham.[505] Murray also made a short public service announcement for the charity to help raise awareness and funds.[506] Murray has also taken part in several charity tennis events, including the Rally for Relief events before the 2011 Australian Open.[507]
In June 2013, Murray teamed up with former British No. 1 Tim Henman for a charity doubles match against Murray's coach and eight-time grand slam champion Ivan Lendl, and No. 6 Tomáš Berdych. The event named Rally Against Cancer was organised to raise money for Royal Marsden Cancer Charity after his best friend and fellow British player Ross Hutchins was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.[508][509] Following his victory at the tournament, Murray donated his entire prize money pot to the charity.[510]
In June 2014, following the death of Elena Baltacha from liver cancer, Murray featured in an event known as 'Rally for Bally' to raise money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and the Elena Baltacha Academy of Tennis.[511][512] Murray was awarded the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year award for 2014.[513]
Public image
[edit]National identity
[edit]Murray identifies himself as "Scottish, but also British".[514] His national identity has often been commented on by the media.[515] Much of the discussion about Murray's national identity began before Wimbledon 2006, when he was quoted as saying he would "support whoever England is playing" at the 2006 World Cup. English ex-tennis player Tim Henman confirmed that the remarks had been made in jest and were only in response to Murray being teased by journalist Des Kelly and Henman about Scotland's failure to qualify.[516]
Murray initially refused to endorse either side of the debate in the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence, citing the abuse he had received after his 2006 World Cup comments.[517] Just before the referendum, Murray tweeted a message that was considered by the media to be supportive of independence.[b][518][519][520] He received online abuse for expressing his opinion, including messages that were described as "vile" by Police Scotland.[520] A few days after the vote, in which a 55% majority opposed Scottish independence, Murray said that he did not regret stating his view, but that he would concentrate on his tennis career in the future.[520]
Other
[edit]In 2006, having been given a warning for racket abuse in a match with Kenneth Carlsen, Murray in the post-match interview stated that he and Carlsen had "played like women".[521] Murray was booed for the remark, but said later that the comment had been intended as a jocular response to what Svetlana Kuznetsova had said at the Hopman Cup.[522] A few months later, Murray was fined for swearing at the umpire during a Davis Cup doubles rubber. Murray refused to shake hands with the umpire at the end of the match.[523]
In 2007, Murray suggested that tennis had a match-fixing problem, stating that everyone knows it goes on,[524] in the wake of the investigation surrounding Nikolay Davydenko.[525]
In a 2015 column for the French sports newspaper L'Équipe, Murray criticised what he described as a double standard applied towards Amélie Mauresmo in her role as Murray's coach, highlighting how many observers attributed his poor performances during the early part of her tenure to her appointment, which Murray denied, before pointing out that his previous coaches had not been blamed by the media for other spells of poor form. He also lamented the lack of female coaches in elite tennis, and concluded: "Have I become a feminist? Well, if being a feminist is about fighting so that a woman is treated like a man then yes, I suppose I have".[47] After BBC host John Inverdale indirectly suggested Murray was the first person to win more than one tennis Olympic gold medal, Murray interjected; "I think Venus and Serena have won about four each."[526] Murray has also argued that male and female tennis players should receive equal amounts of prize money.[527]
From 2020 to 2021, Murray was critical of the ATP's handling of the Alexander Zverev domestic abuse allegations, and urged the ATP to create a formal domestic abuse policy.[528][529][530]
