Andrew Murray (tennis player)

Andrew (Andy) Murray (born 15 May 1987) is a Scottish tennis player born in Dunblane, Stirling, Scotland. He prefers to play on clay courts but seems more than comfortable on grass. Murray is 185 cm tall and generally uses a double-handed backhand.

Miscellaneous

• Before all his first four major matches on the senior tour (v. Dent - which he won, Johansson - where he was two points away from winning, Stepanek - which he won and Nalbandian - which he lost from 2-0 up) he has predicted/expected to lose, stating this publicly, showing mental shrewdness - some say.
• Murray has vowed to sign all autographs he is asked for - having been ignored by his idol Andre Agassi after a Wimbledon match as a child.
• Having been born and bred in Scotland, he becomes hugely annoyed when forgetful - often American - journalists refer to him as English.
