Andy Murray Male Tennis Player

Andy Murray is one of the young tennis player who have been constantly wooing the spectators with their stroke-play and shots over the past year or so. Andy Murray was born in Scotland in 1987 and currently holds the distinction of being the highest ranked British tennis player ever. Constantly performing for quite some time now, he got his first chance of making it to the top 10 in 2007 and since then he has never looked back. He achieved his highest tennis ranking last year when he reached the finals of the US Open but ultimately lost to Roger Federer.

Prior to this, Andy had won the BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year award in 2005 and he had also been the proud recipient of the sport section of the Scot Awards. His family has been closely connected to tennis as his elder brother is the highest ranked player for Britain in doubles. Andy Murray is more at ease on hard courts such as grass but over the past year he has been constantly been improving on his clay game as well. He has been coached by the likes of Brad Gilbert who was personal trainer to Andre Agassi.
