Andrew "Andy" Murray is a Scottish professional tennis player who is currently the highest-ranked British player. Murray broke into the official ATP Top 10 for the first time on 16 April 2007, and reached a career-high of No. 4 after the 2008 U.S. Open, in which he reached the final, losing to Roger Federer.
In December 2005, Murray 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. Murray is most proficient on a fast surface (such as hard courts or grass), although he has worked hard recently on improving his clay court game. Murray works with a team of fitness experts, with Miles Maclagan currently acting as his main coach. He was previously coached by American Brad Gilbert.
