Murray is a British tennis player born in Glasglow, Scotland. The 3-time Grandslam winner is now playing his 15th Wimbledon Championship.
Andy will try to bag his third victory at his home country's largest tennis competition this year. Moreover, he won the US Open once in 2012 but has never tasted the victory at French and Australian Open yet.
Murray was ranked world number one for 42 weeks. Since turning professional in 2005, the veteran tennis player has won 46 single titles so far.
Andy has suffered several painful injuries including his knee injury that forced him to retire from Rogers Cup and his hip injury, which he openly acknowledged could be a possible reason for his early retirement.
Amidst all the talks of his injury and retirement, the British tennis player is still going strong at Wimbledon and fans have noticed his AMC sponsorship quite well.
