Sir Andrew Barron Murray, born on May 15, 1987, in Glasgow, Scotland, is a former professional tennis player renowned for his exceptional career. He achieved the world No. 1 ranking in men’s singles and secured three Grand Slam titles: the 2012 US Open and Wimbledon Championships in 2013 and 2016. Murray also clinched two Olympic gold medals in singles at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Games, along with a silver in mixed doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
After retiring following the 2024 Paris Olympics, Murray transitioned to coaching and currently serves as the coach of Novak Djokovic. Their collaboration began ahead of the 2025 Australian Open, and they have since developed a strong professional relationship, bonding over activities like golf and shared dinners.
Beyond tennis, Murray has ventured into various business endeavors, including investments in the Cromlix Hotel near Dunblane and the British sportswear brand Castore. He has also invested in tech companies such as Perkbox, WeSwap, and Seedrs, and is involved with Game4Padel and the Hexagon Cup. Despite the Cromlix Hotel reporting a loss of £369,045 for the year ending March 31, 2024, Murray continues to diversify his business interests.
In March 2025, Murray participated in the Hexagon Cup, a padel tennis tournament in Madrid, alongside notable figures like Rafael Nadal, Robert Lewandowski, Eva Longoria, Sergio Aguero, and Lionel Messi. He humorously engaged with Messi, asking if he could perform well on a cold, rainy night in Stoke, to which Messi responded with “cállate la boca,” meaning “shut your mouth” in Spanish. David Beckham offered to translate Messi’s comment for Murray.
Murray continues to be a prominent figure in the sports world, balancing his roles as a coach, businessman, and public personality.
