Andy Murray (born 1987)

Born 1987 CE.

Sir Andrew Barron Murray (born 15 May 1987) is a British professional tennis coach and former player. 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.
