Murray attended Dunblane Primary School. He was present during the 1996 Dunblane school massacre, when Thomas Hamilton (43) killed 16 children (average age 5) and a teacher (45) before shooting himself; Murray (then 8) took cover in a classroom. Murray says he was too young to understand what was happening and is reluctant to talk about it in interviews, but in his autobiography "Hitting Back" he states that he attended a youth group run by Hamilton, and that his mother Judy gave Hamilton lifts in her car.

Through some of his most victorious moments (Wimbledon 2013), Murray had been coached by retired Czech tennis champ Ivan Lendl (2011 - 2014).

He was awarded the Knight Bachelor of the Order of the British Empire in the 2017 Queens New Years Honours List for his services to Tennis and charity. He is a tennis player in Surrey, England.

His parents divorced when he was 10 years old.

You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the,players.

To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit.

There is a fear of emotion in tennis.

The only pressure I feel is the pressure I put on myself to win.

Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.

One of the things I would have loved to have had was a family that,worked better together, although I love my mother and father to bits.

Obviously you try to keep as much of your private life as private as you,can.

Normally I sleep for 9, 10 hours a night.

In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself,knowing how near you were but just out of reach.

If you want a player to serve and volley more, you need to teach them to,do that more, how to move at the net.

For me, by far, the Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world.

Everything in tennis is so neat and nice but boxing has sport down to,its essence; it is very pure and I like that.

Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how,tough it is, but the people watching make it so much easier to play.

Contrary to my image, I do have a sense of humour.

Boxing, mixed martial arts and tennis are the hardest sports to train,for.

I believe you should give 100% on the court, so I chase every ball.

I am Scottish. I am also British.

I am not stroppy at all.

I am not anti-English, and I never was.

Having a normal knee would make life a lot easier.

I play fantasy basketball and fantasy football, soccer.

I never read. The paper or anything. I watch a lot of movies, and TV,series and stuff. But I never, ever read.

I love music. I listen to a lot of it.

I hate losing.

A lot of athletes use sports psychologists.

I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but,after my success at the Olympics and the U. S. Open I realise that,winning is the biggest motivation.

In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.

A lot of athletes use sports psychologists.

Boxing, mixed martial arts and tennis are the hardest sports to train for.

Everyone has to try to give back as much as possible because I think in all sports it helps kids to have role models or people to look up to. Someone like Jess Ennis, I know a lot of young girls have started to get into athletics stuff because of her, because of her success.
