BIOGRAPHY
Andy Murray
is a Scottish tennis player, who is currently the
highest-ranking British player. Murray broke into
the official ATP Top 10 for the first time on April
16, 2007, achieving his current career-high of No. 8
on June 18, 2007. He re-entered the Top 10 on
January 7, 2008 at No. 9, but slipped to No, 12
after the Australian Open. His ranking as of
February 18, 2007 is 10. In December 2005, he won
the BBC Scotland Sports Personality of the Year
Award, and the sport section of the Top Scot awards.
His elder brother Jamie is Great Britain's highest
ranked doubles player.
In late 2007 Murray split with his former coach,
American Brad Gilbert. He is now working with a team
of fitness experts, with former player Miles
Maclagan currently acting as his main coach.
Murray was a former pupil of Dunblane Primary School
between 1992 to 1999. He was eight years old and in
Primary Four when the Dunblane Massacre devastated
the school, resulting in the deaths of a teacher and
sixteen Primary One pupils. Murray, however, says he
was shielded from the aftermath of the tragedy and,
still being a child, wasn't truly aware of what was
going on. In 1999, he went on to attend Dunblane
High School.
Between the ages of 11 and 13 Murray was a member of
the junior tennis team at the Next Generation club
in Newhaven, Edinburgh, where he played regularly.
At 14 he moved to Barcelona in Spain, where he
attended the Schiller International School and
trained on the clay courts of the Sánchez-Casal
Academy, where he was nicknamed 'Lazy English'. He
won the Boys Singles title at the US Open in 2004,
and won BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year the
same year. He finished higher education in 2005.
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 also mentioned that while Wimbledon was not
his favourite tournament, he loved the support of
the British fans. There is some suspicion that this
was a public relations comment however, as one year
previously he commented that he would not support
the England football team at the World Cup, although
it should be noted his comment was tongue-in-cheek.
