Andrew "Andy" Murray (born 15 May 1987) is a Scottish professional tennis player and current British number 1. He is ranked World No. 3, having previously held the No. 2 ranking position for two weeks from 17 August 2009 to 31 August 2009, making him the highest-ranked British male player since Fred Perry.[1] Murray achieved a top 10 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals for the first time on 16 April 2007. He has reached two Grand Slam finals, finishing runner-up to Roger Federer both times at the 2008 US Open and the 2010 Australian Open.[2]
Murray is most proficient on a fast surface (such as hard courts),[3] although he has worked hard since 2008 on improving his clay court game.[4] Murray works with a team of fitness experts,[5] along with Miles Maclagan who is his main coach.[5]
